Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Harp of Stirlingshire Under the former may be classed all the stories of love and passion in their varying moods of tragedy and comedy; under the latter all the deeds of patriotism and chivalry, at the thought of which the pulse quickens, and on reading the records of which the eye gleams with pride. There are two vehicles of verse by which these elements are conveyed to the world there is the love lyric, with its warm breathings of unlimited admiration, and its touch of scenic beauty; and the ballad or narrative poem, with its detailed descriptions of peoples and customs, and its enum eration of virtues and vices.
