Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Braddock´s Field, and Other Original Poems The errors in versification which will, perhaps, be discovered both in the Songs and longer Poems, originate partly from inexperience at the period of their writing, and partly from unwillingness to sacrifice my meaning to the euphony of a line. I mention this for the satisfaction of those who cannot recognise any production as Poetry, which does not measure so many feet to the line - exactly. To more enlightened and liberal critics, I presume this explanation would be unnecessary. To such I submit my work; and while I admit that I look to their decision with some anxiety, I hope I am superior to the baseness of cringing for their favor. I have not written for popularity in the drawing-rooms of the wealthy. I would rather that my songs were known and sung in the work-shops and homesteads of my native land, than boast the patronage of the inmates of its palaces. It is for the amusement of that class of society to which I myself belong, that I have tuned my rude, unlettered harp. To my subscribers I tender ray heart felt acknowledgments; and if I should be doomed to failure, I will still cherish the most lasting sense of gratitude for their kindness and generosity.
