Wall. Oh, 'twas but in thought!

And not by deed

Flor. I've watch'd thee long in thought
And wish'd to prove my fervency by action.
And I am happy---though it may not last!
But while I breathe---I will

Wall. Sweet flower of beauty!

O droop not thus in hope's enamour'd bloom,
To desolate our hearts!

Flor. Where is my brother?

Wall. Fear not for Graham--his sword exults in battle!
And we shall triumph yet.

Flor. Ye are betray'd

By Cumming's cowardice.--My fears prove true,
Too true, alas !---but thou would'st not believe me.
Wall. We are prepar'd to meet our fate like men,-
And Heaven can ask no more!

[blocks in formation]

Wall. Be compos'd!

And thou wilt live to tell him.

Flor. He may weep

While thinking of his tenderness to me,

And dreams of love---but he will tell thee all !

And I shall be thy guardian angel still

In yonder sphere !---I will request that favour

Even for thy sake! And Heaven will grant the boon
To watch o'er those who shar'd our earthly love!

Oh, 'twill be extasy to gaze on thee!

Belov'd of Heaven and idoliz'd by men

For virtuous independence to the last !

And I shall joy in purity of heart,

To mark thy blest career---the patriot's glory

And Caledonia's hope! Oh, I am dying

With future transport now!

Wall. My own Floremma!

Touch not affection's tender chord so deeply!

I could not hope for such devotedness

But, wouldst thou live---we may be happy yet!

And Graham shall bliss our union.

Flor. Thanks, dear Wallace!

For this avowal !---It will cheer my soul

Through death's dark vale---and light the path to Heaven!

Our space is exhausted, and we must conclude before our coming to the solemn pathos of a winding-up. So, gentle reader, and still more, gentle manager-Good-night,
