White of hair and of beard is he,Yet hokleth his own riifht manfiillv. 1 II btaiiii the brunt ot many a tight,—Bui ghosts are anotlier matter, quite. Ilicn up old Wallace of Uhlcn stood,And stoutly vowd b\- the holv rood, Oft and oft. when his limbs were young,Out from its scabbard his good swordsprung: In castle hall, or in cot of thatch, With Wallace of Ihlen none might match. The bra\e old baron one day had hoardThe peasants round by a legend stirred. Of a ghostly lady, that watched till lightIn Kcidenloch Chapel every night. So to his seneschal quoth he: Go w\atch, and tell me if such things be. My lord, 1 d fain take many a knockThan watch in the Chapel of Keidenloch; .And aU things holy, all things bright, He d watch in the chapel that very night. With only a sword, from his castled rockDown he strode unto Keidenloch ; .And with the twilight, dusk and brown,Deep in the chapel he sat him down. Wallace
