Poets:

19) Poem 1: a Scottish Poet Poem 1: a Russian poet

O SCOTIA! My dear, my native soil! For whom my warmest wish to heaven is sent! Long may thy hardy sons of rustic toil Be blest with health and peace and sweet content! And O may Heaven their simple lives prevent From Luxury’s contagion, weak and vile! Then howe’er crowns and coronets be rent, A virtuous Populace may rise the while, And stand a wall of fire, around their much-lov’d ISLE. Poem 2. O Caledonia! Stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child! Land of brown heath and shaggy wood, Land of the mountain and the flood, Land of my sires! What mortal hand Can e’er (=ever) untie the filial band, That knits me to thy(=your) rugged strand! Still as I view each well-known scene, Think what is now, and what hath(=has) been, Seems as, to me, of all bereft, Sole friends thy woods and streams were left; And thus I love them better still, Even in extremely of ill.

Шотландия! Родной, любимый край! За сыновей твоих мои моленья! Здоровый дух, довольство, мир - пускай Всегда хранят их мирные селенья! Да не коснется их зараза тленья, Яд роскоши, пороков гнусных гной. Пусть мир тогда торгует без стесненья Коронами, но остров свой родной Народ весь окружит, как пламенной стеной! Poem 2. О Каледония, твой лик Порою строг, порою дик! Страна могучих кряжей горных, Страна потоков непокорных, Лесов и вересков страна, Моя душа всегда верна Сыновней верностью великой Твоей красе угрюмо-дикой. Увы, я думаю порой, Чем прежде был мой край родной! Одна природа величаво Хранит его былую славу, Но в запустенье скорбных дней Мне милый край еще милей.

Famous Scots:

The Scots assembled with their arms and took their station behind the river Tay. As they arrived late in the day, weary and tired after a long march, they pitched their camp and rested, not expecting the enemy before the next day. The Norsemen, however, were near; noticing that no guards or sentinels protected the camp, they crossed the Tay, intending to take the Scots by surprise. To this end, they took off their shoes so as to make the least noise possible. But one of the Norsemen stepped on a thistle. The sudden and sharp pain he felt caused him to shriek. The alarm was given in the Scots’ camp. The Norsemen were put to flight, and as an acknowledgement for the timely and unexpected help from the thistle, the Scots took it as their national emblem.
