Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Merry´s Museum and Parley´s Magazine, Vol. 34 Carrier´s Address, Another year gone by! Old Styx Has swallowed Eighteen-Fifty-six, And, like a huge Constrictor Boa, Distends his jaws for something more, Beginning, while we´re talking, even, On Eighteen Hundred Fifty-seven. Now naught remains for us to do But just to pass in grave review The dying cycle, and to fix All we can rescue from the Styx. The year, like others gone before it, Has had its shadows gathering o´er it, And glittering, twinkling all between, Its flecks and roaches of bright sheen; Has shaken now with ague fits, Anon been seethed in fever sweats; Has shown us gusty March, one day, And then the soft and genial May; Its August, scalding every member, And then its shivering, bleak December. ´T has had its full and honest share Of toil and pleasure, fear and care, And sometimes, when heart-cracked with pain, Has cracked its jokes, and laughed again, And then, upon some broken head, Its half a pint of tears has shed. In gallant deeds, and lofty vaunting, The by-gone year has not been wanting, Nor, if the truth be told, can rhyme Deny it somewhat of sublime. We´ve had our battles, gay with banners, Noisy with shoutings and hosannas, Our ups and downs, our ins and outs, And all the shades of wins and routs, And - let me not be hypercritical - I scorn to speak of things political, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
