verses intended to be written below a noble earl's picture 注释标题 the nobleman is james, fourteenth earl of glencairn.

whose is that noble, dauntless brow?

and whose that eye of fire?

and whose that generous princely mien,

e'en rooted foes admire?

stranger! to justly show that brow,

and mark that eye of fire,

would take his hand, whose vernal tints

his other works admire.
