Not so had Malcolm strain’d his eye,

Another step than thine to spy.—

Wake, Allan-Bane," aloud she cried,

To the old Minstrel by her side,—

“Arouse thee from thy moody dream!

I’ll give thy harp heroic theme,

And warm thee with a noble name;

Pour forth the glory of the Græme!”[91]

Scarce from her lip the word had rush’d,

When deep the conscious maiden blush’d;
