"Thou stand'st here arraign'd, That with presumption impious and accurs'd, Thou hast usurp'd God's high prerogative, Making thy fellow mortal's life and death Wait on thy moody and diseased passions; That with a violent and untimely steel Hath set abroach the blood that should have ebbed In calm and natural current: to sum all In one wild name a name the pale air freezes at, And every cheek of man sinks in with horror Thou art a cold and midnight murderer."
I maun be settin' out back the morn, if the Lord spares me." I mindit fine that the body wad tak nae drink like an honest man, but maun aye draibble wi' burn water, and noo he had got the thing on the brain. I never spak a word, for the maitter was bye ony mortal's aid. For lang he sat quiet. Then he lifts his heid and looks awa ower the grey sea. A licht for a moment cam intil his een.
It is not a safe boon, nor one, my Phaeton, suited to your youth and strength. Your lot is mortal, and you ask what is beyond a mortal's power.

When the new minister is placed, go and tell him what Liot Borson told you at his death-hour. For I know well he did not die without boasting of his revenge on Bele Trenby.

I? What! in my bosom chaste Can mortal's image have a seat? This heart, by heavenly glory graced, Dares it with earthly love to beat? The saviour of my country, I, The champion of the Lord Most High, Own for my country's foe a flame To the chaste sun my guilt proclaim, And not be crushed beneath my shame? Woe! oh woe! what strains enthralling!
Yes, soul of Harold! there are might and holiness in the blessing the soul thou hast redeemed and reared sheds on thee!" And so beautiful, so unlike the Beautiful of the common earth, looked the maid as she thus spoke, and laid hands, trembling with no human passion, on that royal head-that could a soul from paradise be made visible, such might be the shape it would wear to a mortal's eye!
