 Taly\-malfra's \ rocky \ shore
 * Liberal \ hand and \ open \ heart. ||   Echoing \ to the \ battle's \ roar;
 * Big with \ hosts of \ mighty \ name, ||   Where his \ glowing \ eyeballs \ turn,
 * Squadrons \ three a\-gainst him \ came;  ||    Thousand \ banners \ round him \ burn.
 * This the \ force of \ Eirin \ hiding, ||   Where he \ points his \ purple \ spear,
 * Side by \ side as \ proudly \ riding, ||   Hasty, \ hasty \ rout is \ there,
 * On her \ shadow \ long and \ gay, ||   Marking \ with in\-dignant \ eye
 * Lochlin \ ploughs the \ watery \ way: ||   Fear to \ stop, and \ shame to \ fly.
 * There the Norman \ sails a\-far ||   There Con\-fusion, \ Terror's \ child,
 * Catch the \ winds, and \ join the \ war; ||   Conflict \ fierce, and \ Ruin \ wild,
 * Black and \ huge, a\-long they \ sweep, ||   Ago\-ny, that \ pants for \ breath,
 * Burthens \ of the \ angry \ deep. ||   Despair, \ and  \  \ ."

OBSERVATIONS.

MEASURE VI.&mdash;TROCHAIC OF THREE FEET, OR TRIMETER.
Example I.&mdash;Youth and Age Contrasted. "Crabbed \ age and \ youth     Cannot \ live to\-gether;    Youth is \ full of \ pleasance,      Age is \ full of \ care:    Youth, like \ summer \ morn,      Age, like \ winter \ weather;    Youth, like \ summer, \ brave;      Age, like \ winter, \ bare.      Youth is \ full of \ sport,      Age's \ breath is \ short,    Youth is \ nimble, \ age is \ lame;      Youth is \ hot and \ bold,      Age is \ weak and \ cold;    Youth is \ wild, and \ age is \ tame." The Passionate Pilgrim;, Vol. ii p. 594.
