il6 HARPER OF MULL, A TALE. Tune I C 



The youns; man, on his part, was equally captivated ; 

 and, indeed, the charms which had touched his heart in 

 early youth, were now in full bloom, and, in his opinion, 

 much improved by time ; and guefling by her demeanour, 

 and the language of her eyes, that he ftill maintained a 

 place in her affeflions, he liftened enamoured to her con- 

 verfe, which, being in the prefence of her hufband, was 

 lively and innocent ; while hurried away by the impulfe 

 of paflion, his purpose was to carry her off to a country, 

 where they were both unknown. 



The hulband at length propofed to his wife to proceed on 

 her journey, when the ftranger politely offered to accom- 

 pany them a few miles. By the way, he found means to 

 whifper his fcheme, and was happy to find his old miftrcfs 

 impatient as he could wifh, to abandon, for his fake, all 

 that a virtuous woman holds dear. Such was the return 

 flie made her hulband for all his tendernefs and love ! and 

 fo blind was flie to that mifery and fliame that were foon 

 to overtake her ! Towards the foot of the mountain, in a 

 wild woody glen, the hulband having occafion to flay a lit- 

 tle behind, the guilty pair made their elopement, and 

 were out of fight in a moment. Bereaved thus of his wife, 

 and of his harp, the wretched hufband exclaimed in an 

 agony of grief : " Fool that I was, to burn my harp for 

 " her kkej-\" 



This exclamation has long been proverbial in the High- 

 lands, when an honeft generous man is treated with mon- 

 ftrous ingratitude.
