Weep, Albin![68] to death and captivity led!

O weep! but thy tears cannot number the dead:

For a merciless sword on Culloden shall wave,

Culloden! that reeks with the blood of the brave.

LOCHIEL.

Go, preach to the coward, thou death-telling seer!

Or, if gory Culloden so dreadful appear,

Draw, dotard, around thy old wavering sight,

This mantle, to cover the phantoms of fright.

WIZARD.
