In Babylon's bravuras—as the Home-

Heart-Ballads of Green Erin or Grey Highlands,

That bring Lochaber back to eyes that roam

O'er far Atlantic continents or islands,

The calentures[786] of music which o'ercome

All mountaineers with dreams that they are nigh lands,

No more to be beheld but in such visions—

Was Adeline well versed, as compositions.
