The evening came, and still no knight
Had proffer'd life for Scotia's right.
The morning rose in shroud of gray,
That usher'd in the pregnant day,
Big with the germs of future fame,
Of Albyn's glory or her shame;
And still no champion made demand
Of fighting for his sovereign's hand!
Had proffer'd life for Scotia's right.
The morning rose in shroud of gray,
That usher'd in the pregnant day,
Big with the germs of future fame,
Of Albyn's glory or her shame;
And still no champion made demand
Of fighting for his sovereign's hand!
