Notes 1 |
"*The last two lines, when properly read, sound very much like a horse going at full speed. Virgil’s well-known line of the same character is as follows:—“Quadrupedante putrem soniter quatit ungula campum,”—Æneid, Book viii, line 596." |
Notes 2 |
"The Rev. Mr Grant was a man of many excellent qualities. The poet was deeply attached to him. His father was a Presbyterian and his mother a Roman Catholic. He was educated in Lismore. His brother Peter was an officer in the army. Peter belonged to the same church as his father. His sister was married to Alexander Chisholm an uncle of the present Chisholm of Strath-Glas. Duncan Chisholm, merchant, Antigonish was their son." |
