Página 374 - Approach, thou craven crouching slave : Say, is not this Thermopylae ? These waters blue that round you lave. Oh servile offspring of the free, Pronounce what sea, what shore is this : The gulf, the rock of Salamis !

Página 377 - And there was mounting in hot haste: the steed. The mustering squadron, and the clattering car. Went pouring forward with impetuous speed, And swiftly forming in the ranks of war...

Fast they come, fast they come ; See how they gather ! Wide waves the eagle plume, Blended with heather. Cast your plaids, draw your blades, Forward each man set ! Pibroch of Donuil Dhu, Knell for the onset ! NORA'S VOW.
