Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Samuel Butler, Vol. 1 of 2 Unhonour´d lay poor But1er´s nameless grave, One line, the hand of pitying friendship gave. ´Twas his with pure con¿ding heart to trust The ¿attering minions of a monarch´s lust; And hope that faith a private debt would own, False to the honour of a nation´s throne. Such were the lines insulted virtue pour´d, And such the wealth of wit´s exhaustless hoard; Of keenest Wisdom dallying With her scorn, And playful jest of indignation born; And honest hatred of that godless crew, To king, to country - to themselves untrue: The hands that laid the blameless mitre low, That gave great Wentworth to the headsman´s blow, And theirs the deed immortalized in shame, Which raised a monarch to a martyr´s name. Oh! friend! with me thy thoughtful sorrows join, Thy heart will answer each desponding line; Say, when thy hand o´er Ken´s neglected grave At once the ¿owers of love and learning gave; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
