illed with the comprehension of the highest earthly bliss,
till only tears can relieve our hearts--such a world is not utterly
cheerless. Come! Let us return to life, to our child, to our friends.
What does my old friend Catullus say?"
"Beloved, let us live and love!"

In all his poems Prof. Aytoun has put forth a sustained power and
beauty of expression which have placed him in the foremost rank of the
poets of his time. "His Lays" have all the historic truth and force of
Macaulay, expressing noble thought by a delineation of generous and
lofty natures stated with fluency, vigour and movement. His ballad
themes are selected from striking incidents and from stirring scenes of
Scottish history, and he has thrown over them the light of an
imagination at once picturesque and powerful.
