Burst, in fierce jealousy, to air.

With stalwart grasp his hand he laid

On Malcolm’s breast and belted plaid:

“Back, beardless boy!” he sternly said,

“Back, minion! hold’st thou thus at naught

The lesson I so lately taught?

This roof, the Douglas, and that maid,

Thank thou for punishment delay’d.”

Eager as greyhound on his game,

Fiercely with Roderick grappled Græme.
