OWEN OF CARRON,

By DR. LANGHORNE.

There is fomething romantic in the ftory of the following POEM; but the Author has his reafons for believing that there is fomething, likewife, authentic. On the fimple circumstances of the ancient narrative, from which he first borrowed his idea, those reasons are principally founded, and they are fupported by others, with which, in a work of this kind, to trouble his Readers would be fuperfluous.

N CARRON's fids the primrose pale,

ON

Why does it wear a purple hue ?

Ye maidens fair of MARLIVALE,

Why ftreams your eyes with pity's dew?

"Tis all with gentle OWEN's blood That purple grows the primrose pale;

That pity pours the tenderflood

From each fair eye in MARLIVALE.

The evening ftar fate in his eye,
The fun his golden treffes gave,

The north's pure morn her orient dye,
To him who refts in yonder grave!

Beneath no high, hiftoric ftone,

Tho' nobly born, is OWEN laid, Stretch'd on the green wood's lap alone, He fleeps beneath the waving fhade. Vol. II. 6.
