Read a passage
Thus shall your country's annals boast your corps, And, glorious thought! in times and ages hence, Some valiant chief to stimulate the more, And urge his troops, the battle in suspense, Shall hold your bright example to their view. RUDDIMAUN'S MAG.
Louis, surnamed the Saint, King of France, having taken the cross, sailed with a splendid retinue of knights, nobles, and soldiers bent on the delivery of Jerusalem from the profanation of the Moslem; and, landing in the East, laid siege to Damietta (in Lower Egypt), which he triumphantly won by storm. But, after enduring innumerable hardships and disasters by the sword, and by pestilence from the fœtid waters of the marshy Nile and the Lake of Menzaleh, he was overthrown in battle at Mansoura, and made captive by the Soldan.
This was about the year 1254, when Alexander III. was King of Scotland.
