Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Joseph Addison, Vol. 1 of 6: Including the Whole Contents of Bp; Hurd´s Edition, With Letters and Other Pieces Not Found in Any Previous Collection; And Macaulay´s Essay on His and Works To the King. When now the business of the field is o´er, The trumpets sleep, and cannons cease to roar, When ev´ry dismal echo is decay´d, And all the thunder of the battle laid; Attend, auspicious Prince, and let the muse In humble accents milder thoughts infuse. Others, in bold prophetic numbers skill´d, Set thee in arms, and led thee to the field, My muse expecting on the British strand Waits thy return, and welcomes thee to land: She oft has seen thee pressing on the foe, When Europe was concern´d in ev´ry blow; But durst not in heroic strains rejoice; The trumpets, drums, and cannons drown´d her voice: She saw the Boyne run thick with human gore, And floating corps lie beating on the shore: She saw thee climb the banks, but try din vain To trace her hero through the dusty plain, When through the thick embattled lines he broke, Now plung´d amidst the foes, now lost in clouds of smoke. O that some muse, renown´d for lofty verse, In daring numbers would thy toils rehearse! Draw thee belov´d in peace, and fear´d in wars, Inur´d to noon-day sweats, and midnight cares! But still the godlike man, by some hard fate, Receives the glory of his toils too late; Too late the verse the mighty act succeeds, One age the hero, one the poet breeds. A thousand years in full succession ran, Ere Virgil rais´d his voice, and sung the man Who, driv´n by stress of fate, such dangers bore On stormy seas, and a disastrous shore, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
