Until some Druid burst my dismal tomb,

And dragged me forth amidst the haunts of man.

And then, indeed my life of woe began.

And ere great Caesar in triumphant pride,

Led on by conquest, bade Rome's eagles soar

To this fair isle; full many a victim died

Upon my breast, and I was drenched with gore:

For "midst the tangling horrors of the wood,"

I stood an altar, stained with human blood.

I've witnessed scenes, which I now dread to name,
