The following little Poems are written after the Model of the Old English Ballads and are inscribed to those who admire the simplicity of that kind of versification	A
	-
	-
NEAR GLARIS on a mountain's side	B
Beneath a shad'wy wood	C
With walls of ivy compass'd round	D
An ancient Castle stood	C
	-
By all rever'd by all ador'd	E
There dwelt a wealthy dame	F
One peerless daughter bless'd her age	G
A maid of spotless fame	F
	-
While one fair son a gallant boy	H
Whose VIRTUE was his shield	I
Led on the dauntless sons of war	J
Amidst the crimson'd field	I
	-
For o'er the land dissension reign'd	K
Full many a direful year	L
And many a heart's best blood had stain'd	K
The proud oppressor's spear	L
	-
Young ELLA'S charms had spread her fame	F
O'er all the country wide	B
And youths of high descent and brave	M
Had sought her for their bride	B
	-
Amongst the rest SIR RAYMOND came	F
Sprung from a princely race	N
Right valiant in each warlike art	O
And blest with ev'ry grace	N
	-
In tournaments renown'd afar	P
For manly feats admir'd	Q
His brilliant fame his bold exploits	R
The damsel's bosom fir'd	Q
	-
Her blushing cheek her down cast eye	S
Her secret flame confess'd	T
The gallant RAYMOND'S circling arm	U
The beauteous ELLA press'd	T
	-
From her fond mother's doating eyes	V
The radiant gem he bore	J
The weeping maids and village swains	V
Beheld her charms no more	J
	-
Where the swift billows of the RHINE	A
Their shining curls disclose	V
With many a gilded turret crown'd	D
His splendid Palace rose	V
	-
The festive scene had scarce began	A
When near the Castle wall	W
A messenger of warlike mein	A
On RAYMOND'S name did call	W
	-
Come forth thou valiant Knight he said	X
Thy prowess quickly show	Y
With speed prepare thy lance and shield	I
To meet the dauntless foe	Y
	-
The blood of many a noble Swiss	V
Doth stain the country round	D
And many a brave aspiring youth	Z
Lies vanquish'd on the ground	D
	-
The daring Chief whose shining spear	L
With purple gore is dy'd	B
Oh direful news prepare to meet	A2
THE BROTHER OF THY BRIDE	B
	-
Enrag'd the haughty RAYMOND cried	B
Base wretch receive thy doom	B2
For thy bold errand thou shalt die	S
Within a dungeon's gloom	B2
	-
Speechless the mournful ELLA stood	C
Despair her heart did wound	D
When from the echoing tow'r she heard	Q
Th' larum bell's dreadful sound	D
	-
Her cold wan cheek her quiv'ring lip	C2
Bespoke her soul's deep woe	Y
From her blue eye the crystal drop	D2
In silent grief did flow	Y
	-
For shame shake off those woman's tears	V
The frowning bridegroom cried	B
And know SIR RAYMOND'S warlike breast	T
Disdains a timid bride	B
	-
In vain you weep ignoble dame	F
Behold yon neighing steed	E2
My soldiers wait my bosom burns	V
TO CONQUER or to BLEED	E2
	-
Forth went the Knight the frantic bride	B
To the high rampart flew	F2
With trembling knee she climb'd the wall	W
Th' embattled plain to view	F2
	-
On either side by turns she thought	G2
Proud vict'ry grac'd the field	I
'Till vanquish'd by her BROTHER'S sword	E
She saw her HUSBAND yield	I
	-
For refuge to his Castle gate	H2
The bleeding warrior flew	F2
And from the battlements on high	S
His daring gauntlet threw	F2
	-
Three days from dawn to setting sun	A
The hardy soldiers stood	C
'Till faint with toil by famine press'd	T
They saw their chief subdu'd	I2
	-
Oh haste my page SIR RAYMOND said	X
The captive youth set free	J2
And bid him to the conqu'rer's feet	A2
This message bear from me	J2
	-
Treasures immense of massy gold	K2
Rich gems and jewels rare	L2
As ransom will I freely give	M2
If he our lives will spare	L2
	-
If he consents let garlands green	A
His peaceful brows adorn	A
If hostile yet beneath our walls	V
Thrice sound his bugle horn	A
	-
Gaily he pass'd the outward gate	H2
But sadly he return'd	N2
His bugle horn he sounded thrice	V
No wreath his brows adorn'd	O2
	-
Thy gold he cried the conqu'ror scorns	V
He claims thy forfeit LIFE	P2
Thy precious gems and jewels rare	L2
He gives thy beauteous wife	P2
	-
Your lands are free your soldiers too	F2
And for young ELLA'S sake	Q2
To prove his truth the gen'rous chief	R2
This solemn vow did make	Q2
	-
That whatsoe'er she holds most dear	L
At morrow's dawn of day	S2
Her pages to some distant place	V
May safely bear away	S2
	-
At dawn of light fair ELLA came	F
Fresh as the rose of May	S2
SIR RAYMOND in a chest of gold	K2
Her pages bore away	S2
	-
She pass'd the gate with throbbing heart	O
She pass'd the ranks among	T2
The praises of her peerless charms	V
Fell fast from ev'ry tongue	T2
	-
Halt halt they cried right noble dame	F
'Tis fit we should behold	K2
Whether thy coffer ought contains	V
But gems and messy gold	K2
	-
O stay me not ye gallant youths	V
For soon it shall appear	L
This burnish'd coffer doth contain	A
ALL THAT I HOLD MOST DEAR	L
	-
Take heed my Brother ah take heed	E2
Nor break thy sacred word	Q
Nor let thy kinsman's blood degrade	U2
The glories of thy sword	E
	-
The Hero smil'd fair ELLA'S cheek	V2
Glow'd with vermilion dye	S
Fear chill'd her heart the starting tear	L2
Stood trembling in her eye	S
	-
Subdu'd abash'd her brother flew	F2
And clasp'd her to his breast	T
Then with an angel's pitying voice	V
The vanquish'd chief address'd	T
	-
Come forth SIR RAYMOND valiant knight	W2
Behold thy peerless wife	P2
Receive thy sword and from HER hand	X2
Accept thy forfeit life	P2
	-
Here shall the bloody contest end	Y2
Let peace o'erspread the land	X2
More homage than the conqueror's sword	E
CAN BEAUTY'S TEARS COMMAND	X2
