Страница 158 - Blount and Fitz-Eustace rested still With Lady Clare upon the hill, On which (for far the day was spent) The western sunbeams now were bent.

"If they hae twenty thousand blades, And we twice ten times ten, Yet they hae but their tartan plaids, And we are mail-clad men. "My horse shall ride through ranks sae rude, As through the moorland fern, Then neer let the gentle Norman blude Grow cauld for Highland kerne.
