Her babe's small cry, that leads him to his prey. 1820. s1-s9: see Sub-Variants below. txt. Ed.] [Variant 51: 1836. Now, passing Urseren's open vale serene, Her quiet streams, and hills of downy green, Plunge with the Russ embrowned by Terror's breath, Where danger roofs the narrow walks of death; 1815. Plunge where the Reuss with fearless might has rent His headlong way along a dark descent. MS. In the edition of 1836 these two couplets of 1815 were compressed into one, and in that edition lines 200-201 preceded lines 198-199. They were transposed in 1840.] [Variant 52: 1836.
