Like Douglas conquer, or like Douglas, die.

John Home

My name is Norval; on the Grampian hills
My father feeds his flocks; a frugal swain,
Whose constant cares were to increase his store,
And keep his only son, myself, at home.

John Home

In the first days
Of my distracting grief, I found myself
As women wish to be who love their lords.
