Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rose of Rostrevor: An Episode of the Boyne Water, a Poem With lazy roll the shifting yard-arm dips, Tis he-'tis he bursts from her quivering lips Tis Ronald - thank God - why should I have fear P From off her cheek she brushed the starting tear, For spite of all cold Reason's voice could say, Hope in her anxious bosom fluttering lay, Like the young cushat*, cowering in the nest, Which for the kite's beak takes its mother's breast. Sooth! There is not in all this world's wide fold A sight more brave yet piteous to behold, Than a fair girl, fate-fallen on blood-stained times, In midst of war and all its thousand crimes, Struggling to bear up with a gallant role, And in man's spirit steep her tender soul.
