Thoir hadfr never hither «fped,
With Runic fpells to wake the dead;!
Thou., that in evil hour art come
T o brave the terrors of the toiiib*
Nor friend, nor weeping father, gave
A N G A N T Y R’s teliques «to .the grave.;
And T i R F lN G , that all.- conqu’iang fwoud,
No longer calls A n.g a n t y r lord.
A living warrior wears it now —

In peace the turf where thou (toft *f leepi
As T i R F ING ftill befide thee lies,

My inft inheritance I claim.;

Thy only child!

Too -well I knew
Thou wouldft demand "Vvhat thou Xhalt rue.
By T lR F ING ’s fatal point f hall die
The braveft of thy progeny.
A warlike fon (hall HERVOR bear,
Hervor’s pride, and T iR F IN G ’« heir,;
Already, daiigther, I forefee
HE.1BREK the hero’ s name will be:
T o him, the young, the bold, the ftrong,

Nor you, ye fpirits, reft in peace,
Until ye grant what I demand,
And T i r f i n « glitter» in my hand.

Oh Virgin, more than woman boldJ
Of warlike mien, and manly mould[
What has induc’d thy feet to tread
The gloomy manfions of the dead,
At this lone hour, devoid of fear,
With fword, and (hield, and magic fpear?
H E R V O R .
The caufe thou know’ft, why to thy tomb
I’ ve wander’d thro* the midnight gloom ;
Yield then the Fairies work divine;
Thou art no father elfe of mine;
But goblin damn’d,
A N G A N T Y R »
Then hear me, Maid,
That art not ev’n of death afraid J
Ht ALM A r ’ s bane thou fhalt command;
The fatal fword is in my hand:
But fee the flames that round it rife’
Doft thou the furious fire defpife?
H E R V O R .
Yes; I dare feize, amidft the fire,
The objedt of my foul’s defire;
Nor do thefe eyes behold with dread,
The flame that plays around the dead,
A N G A N T Y 'R .
Rafh Maid 1 will nothing then controul
The purpofe of thy daring foul ?
But hold — ere thou f houldft fall a prey
T o thefe fierce flames that round it play,'
The fword from out the tomb I’ll bring;
Go, and the fong of triumph fing.
H E R V O R »
Offspring of kings! I know thee now,
And thus before thy prefence bow *
-Father, Hero, Prince, and Friend J
