With noiseless step he left his bed, And search'd around the humble shed. A rush-wove mat soon caught his eye, Hanging upon the wall, close by : Again loud laughter smote his ear, — Just then a passing gust of air The rude mat slightly rais'd, — a bright, But transient gleam of ruddy light Shot brilliantly athwart the gloom, As from a secret inner room ; De Lacey gently drew aside The dangling curtain, and descried By a huge log-fire's cheerful blaze A scene which nll'd him with amaze. Within a... spacious cave, the sides Of which were hung with red deer hides, Bow, quiver, hunting-knife, and spear, And all that form'd the huntsman's gear, K1RKSTAIX Son:. ' twenty stalwart men were seen All clad in frocks of Lincoln green. They sat around a rough-hewn board Willi smoking venison amply stor'd, And tankards bright of foaming beer, — A goodly spread of English cheer. The joke, the laugh, the merry song Went briskly round the jovial throng : For them in mirth Time dipp'd his wings, And they were happier far than kings.
