Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Charles XII of Sweden On what foundation stands the warrior´s pride, How just his hopes let Swedish Charles decide; A frame of adamant, a soul of fire, No dangers fright him, and no labours tire; O´er love, o´er fear, extends his wide domain, Unconquer´d lord of pleasure and of pain; No joys to him pacific sceptres yield, War sounds the trump, he rushes to the field; Behold surrounding kings their pow´rs combine, And one capitulate, and one resign; Peace courts his hand, but spreads her charms in vain; ´Think nothing gain´d,´ he cries, ´till nought remain, ´On Moscow´s walls till Gothic standards fly, ´And all be mine beneath the Polar sky.´ The march begins in military state, And nations on his eye suspended wait; Stem Famine guards the solitary coast, And Winter barricades the realms of Frost; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
