Synopsis
Excerpt from Glenaveril; Or, the Metamorphoses: A Poem in Six Books
Life and Death darkly jostled in the door That opes and shuts upon the days of man The sire had lived scarce thirty years before The sireless son his orphaned life began. That fragile ark in its small bosom bore A race which else had perished, tho' its span Was shorter than a cubit's when one bell Rang birth and burial, welcome and farewell.
Long ere the child hath left its mother's knee The web of the man's character is spun.
