WITH

MEMOIRS OF THE WARRIORS WHO ENGAGED

IN THAT MEMORABLE CONFLICT.

BY

ROBERT WHITE.

Is there a tract upon the circling earth
That can outvie our rugged BORDER-LAND
For scenes of song and feats of chivalry?
Or, through the stirring annals of the past,
Are there heroic chieftains to be found
Who, by their noble deeds, eclipse the fame
Of gallant PERCY or of DOUGLAS bold?
