After breaking a passage, through the entangled8 shrubs9 that grew across the only possible footing in this solitary10 wilderness11, he went along the side of the expanding stream, which at every turning of the rocks increased in depth and violence. The rills from above, and other mountain brooks12, pouring from abrupt13 falls down the craigs, covered him with spray, and intercepted14 his passage. Finding it impracticable to proceed through the rushing torrent15 of a cataract16, whose distant roarings might have intimidated17 even a younger adventurer, he turned from its tumbling waters which burst upon his sight, and crept on his hands and knees up the opposite acclivity, catching18 by the fern and other weeds to stay him from falling back into the flood below. Prodigious19 craggy heights towered above his head as he ascended20; while the rolling clouds which canopied21 their summits seemed descending22 to wrap him in their “fleecy skirts;” or the projecting rocks bending over the waters of the glen, left him only a narrow shelf in the cliff, along which he crept till it brought him to the mouth of a cavern23.
He must either enter it or return the way he came, or attempt the descent of overhanging precipices24, which nothing could surmount25 but the pinions26 of their native birds. Above him was the mountain. Retread his footsteps until he had seen his beloved master, he was resolved not to do-to perish in these glens would be more tolerable to him; for while he moved forward, hope, even in the arms of death, would cheer him with the whisper that he was in the path of duty. He therefore entered the cavity, and passing on, soon perceived an aperture27, through which emerging on the other side, he found himself again on the margin29 of the river. Having attained30 a wider bed, it left him a still narrower causeway to perform the remainder of his journey.
Huge masses of rock, canopied with a thick umbrage31 of firs, beech32, and weeping-birch, closed over the glen and almost excluded the light of day. But more anxious, as he calculated by the increased rapidity of the stream he must now be approaching the great fall near his master’s concealment33, Halbert redoubled his speed. But an unlooked-for obstacle baffled his progress. A growing gloom he had not observed in the sky excluded valley, having entirely34 overspread the heavens, at this moment suddenly discharged itself, amidst peals35 of thunder, in heavy floods of rain upon his head.
Fearful of being overwhelmed by the streams, which now on all sides crossed his path, he kept upon the edge of the river, to be as far as possible from the influence of their violence. And thus he proceeded, slowly and with trepidation36, through numerous defiles38, and under the plunge39 of many a mountain-torrent, till the augmented40 storm of a world of waters, dashing from side to side, and boiling up with the noise and fury of the contending elements above, told him he was indeed not far from the fall of Corie Lynn.
The spray was spread in so thick a mist over the glen, he knew not how to advance. A step further might be on the firm earth, but more probably illusive41, and dash him into the roaring Lynn, where he would be ingulfed at once in its furious whirlpool. He paused and looked around. The rain had ceased, but the thunder still rolled at a distance and echoed tremendously from the surrounding rocks. Halbert shook his gray locks, streaming with wet, and looked toward the sun, now gliding42 with its last rays the vast sheets of falling water.
“This is thine hour, my master!” exclaimed the old man; “and surely I am too near the Lynn to be far from thee!”
With these words he raised the pipe that hung at his breast, and blew three strains of the appointed air. In former days it used to call from her bower43 that “fair star of evening,” the beauteous Marion, now departed for ever into her native heaven. The notes trembled as his agitated44 breath breathed them into the instrument; but feeble as they were, and though the roar of the cataract might have prevented their reaching a less attentive45 era than that of Wallace, yet he sprung from the innermost recess46 under the fall, and dashing through its rushing waters, the next instant was at the side of Halbert.
“Faithful creature!” cried he, catching him in his arms, which all the joy of that moment which ends the anxious wish to learn tidings of what is dearest in the world, “how fares my Marion?”
“I am weary,” cried the heart-stricken old man; “take me within your sanctuary47, and I will tell you all.”
Wallace perceived that his time-worn servant was indeed exhausted; and knowing the toils48 and hazards of the perilous50 track he must have passed over in his way to his fearful solitude51, also remembering how, as he sat in his shelter, he had himself dreaded52 the effects of the storm upon so aged53 a traveler, he no longer wondered at the dispirited tone of his greeting, and readily accounted for the pale countenance54 and tremulous step which at first had excited his alarm.
Giving the old man his hand, he led him with caution to the brink55 of the Lynn; and then, folding him in his arms, dashed with him through the tumbling water into the cavern he had chosen for his asylum56. Halbert sunk against the rocky side, and putting forth57 his hand to catch some of the water as it fell, drew a few drops to his parched58 lips, and swallowed them. After this light refreshment59, he breathed a little and turned his eyes upon his anxious master.
“Are you sufficiently60 recovered, Halbert, to tell me how you left my dearest Marion.”
Halbert dreaded to see the animated61 light which now cheered him from the eyes of his master, overclouded with the Cimmerian horrors his story must unfold; he evaded62 a direct reply; “I saw your guest in safety; I saw him and the iron box on their way to Bothwell?”
“What!” inquired Wallace, “were we mistaken? was not the earl dead when we looked into the well?” Halbert replied in the negative, and was proceeding63 with a circumstantial account of his recovery and his departure when Wallace interrupted him.
“But what of my wife, Halbert? why tell me of others before of her? She whose safety and remembrance are now my sole comfort!”
“Oh, my dear lord!” cried Halbert, throwing himself on his knees in a paroxysm of mental agony, “she remembers you where best her prayers can be heard. She kneels for her beloved Wallace, before the throne of God!”
“Halbert!” cried Sir William, in a low and fearful voice, “what would you say? My Marion-speak! tell me in one word, she lives!”
“In heaven!”
At this confirmation64 of a sudden terror, imbibed65 from the ambiguous words of Halbert, and which his fond heart would not allow him to acknowledge to himself. Wallace covered his face with his hands and fell with a deep groan66 against the side of the cavern. The horrid67 idea of premature68 maternal69 pains, occasioned by anguish70 for him; of her consequent death, involving perhaps that of her infant, struck him to the soul; a mist seemed passing over his eyes; life was receding71; and gladly did he believe he felt his spirit on the eve of joining hers.
In having declared that the idol72 of his master’s heart no longer existed for him in this world, Halbert thought he had revealed the worst, and he went on. “Her latest breath was sent in prayer for you. ‘My Wallace’ were the last words her angel spirit uttered as it issued from her bleeding wounds.”
The cry that burst from the heart of Wallace, as he started on his feet at this horrible disclosure, seemed to pierce through all the recessed73 of the glen; and with an instantaneous and dismal74 return was re-echoed from rock to rock. Halbert threw his arms round his master’s knees. The frantic75 blaze of his eyes struck him with affright. “Hear me, my lord; for the sake of your wife, now an angel hovering76 near you, hear what I have to say.”
Wallace looked around with a wild countenance. “My Marion near me! Blessed spirit! Oh, my murdered wife! my unborn babe! Who made those wounds? cried he, catching Halbert’s arm with a tremendous though unconscious grasp; “tell me who had the heart to aim a blow at that angel’s life?”
“The Governor of Lanark,” replied Halbert.
“How? for what?” demanded Wallace, with the terrific glare of madness shooting from his eyes. “My wife! my wife! what had she done?”
“He came at the head of a band of ruffians, and seizing my lady, commanded her on the peril49 of her life, to declare where you and the Earl of Mar28 and the box of treasure were concealed77. My lady persisted in refusing him information, and in a deadly rage he plunged78 his sword into her breast.” Wallace clinched79 his hands over his face, and Halbert went on. “Before he aimed a second blow, I had broken from the men who held me, and thrown myself on her bosom80; but all could not save her; the villain’s sword had penetrated81 her heart!”
“Great God!” exclaimed Wallace, “dost thou hear this murder?” His hands were stretched toward heaven; then falling on his knees, with his eyes fixed82. “Give me power, Almighty83 Judge!” cried he, “to assert thy justice! Let me avenge84 this angel’s blood, and then take me to thy mercy!”
“My gracious master,” cried Halbert, seeing him rise with a stern composure, “here is the fatal sword; the blood on it is sacred, and I brought it to you.”
Wallace took it in his hand. He gazed at it, touched it, and kissed it frantically85. The blade was scarcely yet dry, and the ensanguined hue86 came off upon the pressure. “Marion! Marion!” cried he, “is it thine? Does not thy blood stain my lip?” He paused for a moment, leaning his burning forehead against the fatal blade; then looking up with a terrific smile. “Beloved of my soul! never shall this sword leave my hand till it has drunk the life-blood of thy murderer.”
“What is it you intend, my lord?” cried Halbert, viewing with increased alarm the resolute87 ferocity which now, blazing from every part of his countenance, seemed to dilate88 his figure with more than mortal daring. “What can you do? Your single arm-”
“I am not single-God is with me. I am his avenger89. Now tremble, tyranny! I come to hurl90 thee down!” At the word he sprung from the cavern’s mouth, and had already reached the topmost cliff when the piteous cries of Halbert penetrated his ear; they recalled him to recollection, and returning to his servant, he tried to soothe91 his fear, and spoke92 in a composed though determined93 tone. “I will lead you from this solitude to the mountains, where the shepherds of Ellerslie are tending their flocks. With them you will find a refuge, till you have strength to reach Bothwell Castle. Lord Mar will protect you for my sake.”
Halbert now remembered the bugle94, and putting it into the master’s hand, with its accompanying message, asked for some testimony95 in return, that the earl might know that he had delivered it safely. “Even a lock of your precious hair, my beloved master, will be sufficient.”
“Thou shalt have it, severed96 from my head by this accurse steel,” answered Wallace, taking off his bonnet97, and letting his amber98 locks fall in tresses on his shoulders. Halbert burst into a fresh flood of tears, for he remembered how often it had been the delight of Marion to comb these bright tresses and to twist them round he ivory fingers. Wallace looked up as the old man’s sobs99 became audible, and read his thoughts: “It will never be again, Halbert,” cried he, and with a firm grasp of the sword he cut off a large handful of his hair.
“Marion, thy blood hath marked it!” exclaimed he; “and every hair on my head shall be dyed of the same hue, before this sword is sheathed100 upon thy murderers. Here, Halbert,” continued he, knotting it together, “take this to the Earl of Mar; it is all, most likely, he will ever see again of William Wallace. Should I fall, tell him to look on that, and in my wrongs read the future miseries101 of Scotland, and remember that God armoreth the patriot’s hand. Let him set on that conviction and Scotland may yet be free.”
Halbert placed the lock in his bosom, but again repeated his entreaties102, that his master would accompany him to Bothwell Castle. He urged the consolation103 he would meet from the good earl’s friendship.
“If he indeed regard me,” returned Wallace, “for my sake let him cherish you. My consolations104 must come from a higher hand; I go where it directs. If I live, you shall see me again; but twilight105 approaches-we must away. The sun must not rise again upon Heselrigge.” Halbert now followed the rapid steps of Wallace, who, assisting the feeble limbs of his faithful servant, drew him up the precipitous side of the Lynn,6 and then leaping from rock to rock, awaited with impatience106 the slower advances of the poor old harper, as he crept round a circuit of overhanging cliffs, to join him on the summit of the craigs.
6 The cavern which sheltered Sir William Wallace, near Corie Lynn, is yet revered107 by the people.
Together they struck into the most inaccessible108 defiles of the mountains, and proceeded, till on discerning smoke whitening with its ascending109 curls the black sides of the impending110 rocks, Wallace saw himself near the objects of his search. He sprung on a high cliff projecting over this mountain-valley, and blowing his bugle with a few notes of the well-known pibroch of Lanarkshire, was answered by the reverberations of a thousand echoes.
At the loved sounds which had not dared to visit their ears since the Scottish standard was lowered to Edward, the hills seemed teeming111 with life. Men rushed from their fastnesses, and women with their babes eagerly followed to see whence sprung a summons so dear to every Scottish heart. Wallace stood on the cliff, like the newly-aroused genius of his country; his long plaid floated afar, and his glittering hair streaming on the blast, seemed to mingle112 with the golden fires which shot from the heavens. Wallace raised his eyes-a clash as of the tumult113 of contending armies filled the sky, and flames, and flashing steel, and the horrid red of battle, streamed from the clouds upon the hills.7
7 The late Duke of Gordon exhibited a similar scene to Prince Leopold, when his royal highness visited Gordon Castle, his “hills reeming with life.”-(1830.)
“Scotsmen!” cried Wallace, waving the fatal sword, which blazed in the glare of these northern lights like a flaming brand, “behold how the heavens cry aloud to you! I come, in the midst of their fires, to call you to vengeance114. I come in the name of all ye hold dear, of the wives of you bosoms115, and the children in their arms, to tell you the poniard of England is unsheathed-innocence and age and infancy116 fall before it. With this sword, last night, did Heselrigge, the English tyrant117 of Lanark, break into my house, and murder my wife!”
The shriek118 of horror that burst from every mouth, interrupted Wallace. “Vengeance! vengeance!” was the cry of the men, while tumultuous lamentations for the “sweet Lady of Ellerslie,” filled the air from the women.
Wallace sprung from the cliff into the midst of his brave countrymen. “Follow me, then, to strike the mortal blow!”
“Lead on!” cried a vigorous old man. “I drew this stout119 claymore last in the battle of Largs.8 Life and Alexander was then the word of victory: now, ye accursed Southrons, ye shall meet the slogan9 of Death and Lady Marion.”
8 In the battle of Largs, Sir Malcolm Wallace, the father of Wallace, fell gloriously fighting against the Danes.-(1830.)
9 Slogan, so the war-word was termed.-(1809.)
“Death and Lady Marion!” was echoed with shouts from mouth to mouth. Every sword was drawn120; and those hardy121 peasants who owned none, seizing the instruments of pasturage, armed themselves with wolf-spears, pickaxes, forks, and scythes122.
Sixty resolute men now ranged themselves around their chief. Wallace, whose widowed heart turned icy cold at the dreadful slogan of his Marion’s name, more fiercely grasped his sword, and murmured to himself. “From this day may Scotland date her liberty, or Wallace return no more! My faithful friends,” cried he, turning to his men, and placing his plumed123 bonnet on his head, “let the spirits of your fathers inspire you souls; ye go to assert that freedom for which they died. Before the moon sets, the tyrant of Lanark must fall in blood.”
“Death and Lady Marion!” was the pealing124 answer that echoed from the hills.
Wallace again sprung on the cliffs. His brave peasants followed him; and taking their rapid march by a near cut through a hitherto unexplored defile37 of the Cartlane Craigs, leaping chasms125, and climbing perpendicular126 rocks, they suffered no obstacles to impede127 their steps, while thus rushing onward128 like lions to their prey129.
