O Donald Gorm, hard fate is thine,
Exposed to punishment condign!
The truce is broke, and thou hast lost
One-fifth of all thy gallant host.
The daring deed thou canst not hide;
Thy kinsmen vanish'd from thy side,
And shame imprinted on thy brow—
Ha! Donald Gorm, what think'st thou now?
Exposed to punishment condign!
The truce is broke, and thou hast lost
One-fifth of all thy gallant host.
The daring deed thou canst not hide;
Thy kinsmen vanish'd from thy side,
And shame imprinted on thy brow—
Ha! Donald Gorm, what think'st thou now?
