 | The Works of The Ettrick Shepherd |  |
When this the hero heard, he roll'd
And writh'd, as if in serpent's hold;
And from his motions it was plain
He deem'd he fought the field again;
While, from his eye's impassion'd gleam
And smile of fury, it did seem
He thought his fame he could redeem.
And writh'd, as if in serpent's hold;
And from his motions it was plain
He deem'd he fought the field again;
While, from his eye's impassion'd gleam
And smile of fury, it did seem
He thought his fame he could redeem.
