And now, attended by their host,The hermitage they viewd. Dark, was the night, and wild llic storm,And loud the torrents roar; And loud the sea was heard to dashA-ainst the distant shore. LIFE AND TIMES OF Musing on mans weak hapless state, The lonely hermit lay ;When, lo ! he heard a female voice… … With hospitable haste he rose,And wakd his sleeping fire : And snatching up a lighted brand,Forth hied the reverend sire. With nothing but his hunting spear, And dagger in his hand.He sprung like lightning on my foes, And causd them soon to stand. JAMES CATXACH.
