Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Sir Walter Scott, Vol. 1 The humble boon was soon obtained; The aged Minstrel audience gained. But, when he reached the room of state, Where she, with all her ladies, sate, Perchance he Wished his boon denied For, when to tune his harp he tried, His trembling hand had lost the ease, Which marks security to please.
