THE

BOTHIE

OF

TOPER-NA-FUOSICH.

A LONG-VACATION PASTORAL.

BY ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH.

Nunc formosissimus annus.

OXFORD:
FRANCIS MACPHERSON.
LONDON: CHAPMAN AND HALL, 186, STRAND.

1848.

NOTE.

The reader is wanted to expect every kind of irregularity in these modern hexameters: spondaic lines, so called, are almost the rule; and a word will often require to be transposed by the voice from the end of one line to the beginning of the next.

MY LONG-VACATION PUPILS

WILL I HOPE ALLOW ME TO INSCRIBE THIS TRIFLE TO THEM, AND WILL NOT, I TRUST, BE DISPLEASED IF IN A FICTION, PURELY FICTION, THEY ARE HERE AND THERE REMINDED OF TIMES WE ENJOYED TOGETHER.
