Where the rough Caigra rolls the surgy wave	A
Urging his thunders thro' the echoing cave	A
Where the sharp rocks in distant horror seen	B
Drive the white currents thro' the spreading green	B
Where the loud tiger pawing in his rage	C
Bids the black archers of the wilds engage	C
Stretch'd on the sand two panting warriors lay	D
In all the burning torments of the day	D
Their bloody jav'lins reeked one living steam	E
Their bows were broken at the roaring stream	E
Heccar the Chief of Jarra's fruitful hill	F
Where the dark vapours nightly dews distil	F
Saw Gaira the companion of his soul	G
Extended where loud Caigra's billows roll	G
Gaira the king of warring archers found	H
Where daily lightnings plough the sandy ground	H
Where brooding tempests bowl along the sky	I
Where rising deserts whirl'd in circles fly	I
	-
Heccar	J
Gaira 'tis useless to attempt the chace	K
Swifter than hunted wolves they urge the race	K
Their lessening forms elude the straining eye	I
Upon the plumage of macaws they fly	I
Let us return and strip the reeking slain	L
Leaving the bodies on the burning plain	L
	-
Gaira	J
Heccar my vengeance still exclaims for blood	M
'Twould drink a wider stream than Caigra's flood	M
This jav'lin oft in nobler quarrels try'd	M
Put the loud thunder of their arms aside	M
Fast as the streaming rain I pour'd the dart	M
Hurling a whirlwind thro' the trembling heart	M
But now my ling'ring feet revenge denies	N
O could I throw my jav'lin from my eyes	N
	-
Heccar	J
When Gaira the united armies broke	O
Death wing'd the arrow death impell'd the stroke	O
See pil'd in mountains on the sanguine sand	M
The blasted of the lightnings of thy hand	M
Search the brown desert and the glossy green	B
There are the trophies of thy valour seen	B
The scatter'd bones mantled in silver white	M
Once animated dared the force in fight	M
The children of the wave whose pallid face	K
Views the faint sun display a languid face	K
From the red fury of thy justice fled	M
Swifter than torrents from their rocky bed	M
Fear with a sickened silver ting'd their hue	P
The guilty fear when vengeance is their due	P
	-
Gaira	J
Rouse not Remembrance from her shadowy cell	Q
Nor of those bloody sons of mischief tell	Q
Cawna O Cawna deck'd in sable charms	R
What distant region holds thee from my arms	R
Cawna the pride of Afric's sultry vales	S
Soft as the cooling murmur of the gales	S
Majestic as the many colour'd snake	T
Trailing his glories thro' the blossom'd brake	T
Black as the glossy rocks where Eascal roars	U
Foaming thro' sandy wastes to Jaghir's shores	U
Swift as the arrow hasting to the breast	M
Was Cawna the companion of my rest	M
	-
The sun sat low'ring in the western sky	I
The swelling tempest spread around the eye	I
Upon my Cawna's bosom I reclin'd	M
Catching the breathing whispers of the wind	M
Swift from the wood a prowling tiger came	V
Dreadful his voice his eyes a glowing flame	V
I bent the bow the never erring dart	M
Pierced his rough armour but escaped his heart	M
He fled tho' wounded to a distant waste	M
I urg'd the furious flight with fatal haste	M
He fell he died spent in the fiery toil	W
I strip'd his carcase of the furry spoil	W
And as the varied spangles met my eye	I
On this I cried shall my loved Cawna lie	I
The dusky midnight hung the skies in grey	J
Impell'd by love I wing'd the airy way	J
In the deep valley and mossy plain	L
I sought my Cawna but I sought in vain	L
The pallid shadows of the azure waves	X
Had made my Cawna and my children slaves	X
Reflection maddens to recall the hour	J
The gods had given me to the demon's power	J
The dusk slow vanished from the hated lawn	Y
I gain'd a mountain glaring with the dawn	Y
There the full sails expanded to the wind	M
Struck horror and distraction in my mind	M
There Cawna mingled with a worthless train	L
In common slavery drags the hated chain	L
Now judge my Heccar have I cause for rage	C
Should aught the thunder of my arm assuage	C
In ever reeking blood this jav'lin dyed	M
With vengeance shall be never satisfied	M
I'll strew the beaches with the mighty dead	M
And tinge the lily of their features red	M
	-
Heccar	J
When the loud shriekings of the hostile cry	J
Roughly salute my ear enraged I'll fly	J
Send the sharp arrow quivering thro' the heart	M
Chill the hot vitals with the venom'd dart	M
Nor heed the shining steel or noisy smoke	O
Gaira and Vengeance shall inspire the stroke	O
