empt to win any favour for his
performance from the Saxon readeris attended with no small risk--although it is possible that a little practice
with the rifle in any similar wilderness may propitiate even the holiday sportsman somewhat in favour of the

subject and its minute details. We must commit this forest minstrel to the good-nature of other readers
entreating them only to render due acknowledgment to the forbearance which hasin the meantimetroubled
them only with the first half of the performanceand with a single stanza of the finale. The composition is
always rehearsed or sung to pipe musicof which it is consideredby those who understand the originala
most extraordinary echobesides being in other respects a very powerful specimen of Gaelic minstrelsy.

The noble Otter hill [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
It is a chieftain Beinn[109]
Ever the fairest still
Of all these eyes have seen.
Spacious is his side;
I love to range where hide
In haunts by few espied
The nurslings of his den.
In the bosky shade
Of the velvet glade
Couchin softness laid
The nimble-footed deer;
To see the spotted pack
That in scenting never slack
Coursing on their track
Is the prime of cheer.
