Can image his; e’en as the lake,

Itself disturb’d by slightest stroke,

Reflects the invulnerable rock.

He hears report of battle rife,

He deems himself the cause of strife.

I saw him redden, when the theme

Turn’d, Allan, on thine idle dream

Of Malcolm Græme in fetters bound,

Which I, thou saidst, about him wound.

Think’st thou he trow’d[236] thine omen aught?
