THE
FAMILY LEGEND.
ACT I.
SCENE I.—Before the gate of Maclean's castle, in the Isle of Mull: several Highlanders discovered crossing the stage, carrying loads of Fuel; whilst Benlora is seen on one side, in the back Ground, pacing to and fro, and frequently stopping and muttering to himself.
FIRST HIGHLANDER.
This heavy load, I hope, will be the last:
My back is almost broken.
SECOND HIGHLANDER.
Were ev’ry beeve in Mull slain for the feast,
Fuel enough already has been stow'd
To roast them all: and must we still with burdens
Our weary shoulders gall?
