Where Bruce, where Wallace, fought their way to fame,
Where Douglas, race heroick, nobly rose,
Secur'd thy freedom and expell'd thy foes)—
Saw they e'er one amongst the chieftain throng,
So ripe in glory and in years so young;
Whose pride not more to vanquish than to save,
In conquest gentle as in action brave?
Like Philip's son, victorious in the course
With skill superiour and inferiour force;
Like Xenophon, secure midst hostil bands, [fol. 410.]
