Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Who o'er the herd would wish to reign, Fantastic, fickle, fierce, and vain! Vain as the leaf upon the stream, And fickle as a changeful dream Fantastic as a woman's mood, And fierce as Frenzy's fever'd blood. Thou many-headed monster thing, Oh who would wish to be thy king!
Walter Scott

But search the land of living men, Where wilt thou find their like again?
Walter Scott
'Tis an old tale, and often told But did my fate and wish agree, Ne'er had been read, in story old, Of maiden true betray'd for gold, That loved, or was avenged, like me!
Walter Scott
Commend me to sterling honesty though clad in rags.
Walter Scott
Look back, and smile on perils past.
Walter Scott
come he slow or come he fast it is but death that comes at last
