LIA FAIL.
61

That bore to Erin's monarch
   The mystic Lia Fail.

Great Fergus seized the trophy,
   And on it, by God's grace,
Was crowned in bonnie Scotland
   First prince of Scottish race.

O'er a long line of heroes—
   Old Caledonia's kings,
The sacred Stone of Destiny
   A mystic glory flings.

And now the Royal City
   On Thames' historic shore
Enshrines the throne of Fergus,
   The Lia Fail of yore.
