" Ho / ho ! the burly Pine .' Hurrah ! Hurrah for the Pine .' The oak may be king of he lowlands, but the Pine is the king of the hillsâaye, and mountains, too^ '' Ho ! ho ! the burly Pine ! Hotu he strikes his clubbed foot deep into the cleft of the rock, or grasps its span 7vilh conscious power ! There he lifts his haughty front like the warrior monarch that he is.
