NOTE b.
_O'er his dead son the gallant ORMOND sigh'd_. Ormond bore the loss with patience and dignity: though he ever retained a pleasing, however melancholy, sense of the signal merit of Ossory. "I would not exchange my dead son," said he, "for any living son in Christendom." HUME, vi. 340. The same sentiment is inscribed on Miss Dolman's urn at the Leasowes. Heu, quanto minus est cum reliquis versari, quam tui meminisse! NOTE c. _High on exulting wing the heath-cock rose_. This bird is remarkable for his exultation during the spring. Brit, Zoology, 266. NOTE d. _Derwent's clear mirror_ Keswick Lake in Cumberland. NOTE e. _Down by St Herbert's consecrated grove_. A small island covered with trees, among which were formerly the ruins of a religious house. |
