"Here with rapt heart and tongue,

While our fond minds were young,

Oft thy bold numbers we poured in our mirth;

Now in our hall for aye

Bard of all nature! to honor thy birth.

"Whether thou tremblest o'er

Green grave of Elsinore,

Stayest o'er the hill of Dunsinnan to hover,

Bosworth, or Shrewsbury,
