372 MINSTin.I.SY OF
SIR AGILTHORN.
BY M. G. l.KWTS, KSQ.—NOW FIRST PUBLTSHKD.
Oh ! gentle huntsman, softly tread,
And softly wind thy bugle-horn ;
Nor rudely break the silence shed
Around the orave of Agilthorn !
Oh !
gentle huntsman, if a tear
E'er dimmed for others'' woe thine eyes,
Thou'lt surely dew, with drops sincere,
The sod, whore Lady Eva lies.
Yon crumbling ciiapePs sainted bound
Their hands and hearts beheld them plight
Long held yon towers, with iyy crown'd,
The beauteous dame and gallant knight.
