Towards the shore of the ocean against the cold wind of the late night. Charles came with radiance to Scotland, tired: there was no star on his bosom or guard travelling with him but the knowingness of the blue eyes radiating and like a diamond in the night of the young woman was sad and in pain about Charles leaving his country and heavy was her sigh and sore the tears from her eyes when she saw the sailing gallery nearing land. (no punctuation The moon was swimming over the heights of the jutting ben and the dancing rays of the heavy leaping waves, suddenly she noticed like a wounded virgin, to the shadow on her white countenance under the eye of the clouds, to the moon and the stars themselves blue-carpeted, the sighing of the wind genially but sad, leaving us; the complaining of the ocean when breaking on the massive rocks, the devastation on Scotland where the brave were killed Flora and Charles stood on the shore of Dùn Caoil with them, and heart-torn emaciated their countenance with pain, there was no word from his lips but crying without respite, and they were face-to-face crying with love, when the gallery arrived it was the young lady that began broken voices and inept communication, like an un-tuned disorderly harp, the beautiful young ladies were anguished and agonised. Charles, son of Seumas, son of Seumas of justice, as your crown was wounded like a coward of no avail, if the brave heroes are wounded they will not rise or wake up, a closed eye nightmare the darkness of death, they wont take the sword in the camp against the enemy, they wont scatter the Saxon men like stubble in the fields, they will not see the flag and they won't capture it, the sea, death, leaving us all apart. So Charles, son of Seumas, if you have to leave us that the Son of God will look at you from the 'teeth of the wicked' that he guides the sailing galley through wild countries, safely, swiftly and adroitly to a place of refuge, and that the heavenly lights will shine brightly upon you at night, full sailed (easily) guiding you to a country that you do not need, as a sad young man under the mantle of being a rebel, the wild dress is not to their liking. O Scotland the time has come for your head to be pouring Your Prince away in exile from you and you soaking in the grave, the murmuring of the pipes are refusing to produce music for you, and your so-sweet harpers are disdainful all the# time, the fiddlers of best wood are silent, they will not pour praise on the bosom of Charles, they will not waken the great heroes that died in the wilderness, but stir from death#at the point of greatest need. But he stopped and with red lips he kissed the young woman, and wiping kindly, the tears from her eye (said) "Take heart Flora from young Frenchman, that not a few will rise with me to win my crown, the less radical youths in Scotland who awake, with their outfits of variegated tartans and (my) cunning army, the spirit of the great plunders with fierce screeching will turn to torment, and lame troopers without strength will be in every place. But he left her on her own crying on the shore, and he went away in the boat and whilst becoming angry, his whole corpus filling with grief about to burst, sorrowful, distressed without happiness or music, the night dew lay on the beautiful pure woman, and her mind heaving on the ocean with Charles, she never saw him again to recompense for the injuries, but her love for him grew each day she was alive.
