Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Poetical Addresses of Geo; Alfred Townsend Poem Read Before the Literary Societies of Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, June 28, 1881. A Quaker´s son without a "thee" or "thou;" A farmer never following a plough; A patriot who his vote would not record; A soldier never flourishing the sword; No college man, who yet a college won: Here is the riddle of John Dickinson! Out of the marshes where the rushes sing, He rose like Moses and reproved the king; With silent fears saw Pharaohs power drown, And for the ransomed wove a better crown: Three States, embellished by his birth or rule, He drew together in a Christian school, Gave it his substance and his name to own, And midst the Quakers lies without a stone. Of tougher faith and bred of Cromwell´s stock, For Independence rooted like a rock, The ardent Rush, by Scottish doctors bred, Forth to the new world his preceptors led: To Dickinson Charles Nisbet was his boon; To Princeton, Knox´s bantling, Witherspoon. A hundred years less four, have drained the sand From yonder mountains to the Cumberland, Since Nisbet crossed the bridgeless river´s ford, And saw the call he answered from his Lord: In blue battalions stretched against the sky About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
