Seite 135 - I tell thee, thou'rt defied ! And if thou said'st, I am not peer To any lord in Scotland here, Lowland or Highland, far or near, Lord Angus, thou hast lied...
Seite 135 - Marmion reach'd his band He halts, and turns with clenched hand, And shout of loud defiance pours, And shook his gauntlet at the towers. " Horse! horse!" the Douglas cried, "and chase!
Seite 312 - Brignall banks are fresh and fair, And Greta woods are green; I'd rather rove with Edmund there, Than reign our English queen." — "If, Maiden, thou wouldst wend with me, To leave both tower and town, Thou first must guess what life lead we, That dwell by dale and down?
