Yesterday the sullen year

No yesterday nor morrow know;

'Tis man alone that joy descries

With forward and reverted eyes.

Burned Marmion's swarthy cheek like fire

And shook his very frame for ire,

And-"This to me," he said,—

"An' 'twere not for thy hoary beard,
Such hand as Marmion's had not spared
To cleave the Douglas' head!"
And, first, I tell thee, haughty Peer,
He who does England's message here,
Although the meanest in her state,

May well, proud Angus, be thy mate.
