There is one Minstrel more, that must here find a station, And he is a SCOT both by name and by nation; Whose wonderful Ballad, the EVE of St. JOHN, In the true style of Terror, perhaps yields to none; Where the ghostly Gallant, his fair Lady's white flesh on, With one fiery touch leaves a sable impression.
This capital Piece has only lately appeared in the first volume of the Tales of Wonder. The author is the same Walter Scott, whom I have already mentioned among our Translators from the German.
