On my Idalia's bosom, thou,

Beneath the lustres of her brow,

Like pilgrims, all their sorrows past,

On Heaven their dying glances cast,

Thy crimson beauty shalt recline,

Oh, that thy rapturous fate were mine!

LIVES OF SCOTTISH WORTHIES, VOL. II., [Or the 34th volume of the Family Library, is rife with interesting details of the proudest areas of Scottish history; but more especially of the chivalric courses of Robert Bruce and James the First. We quote half-a-dozen vividly written pages, from the former, describing the memorable Siege of Berwick, in 1319.]
