A Translation of an Episode in Ossian in New Zealand Minstrelsy
- Upon the rocks of winds, which loudly roar, / Oh weep! thou lovely maid of Inistore. / And bend thy fair head o’er the stormy waves, / Thou lovelier than the mountain ghost that moves / O’er Morven’s silence, in the glowing rays / Of yonder sun, in its meridian blaze. / For now thy youth’s laid low!—Ah! he is fallen, / Pale, pale beneath the sword of brave Cuthullen! / No more shall valour raise, nor aught that brings / Thy love again to match the blood of kings, / For Trenor, graceful Trenor, is no more! / Thy youth has died, Oh Maid of Inistore! / His gray dogs howling all at home do lie, / They see his haunting spirit passing by; / His bow unstrung now in the hall is found, / And in his hall of hinds, no more is heard his sound.

Canto Fourth in The New Zealand Survey
