Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ten Thousand Miles in Fifty Days: Being an Account of a Flying Visit to the Dominion of Canada, and the Northern and Southern States of America Reader, again Indulgently excuse To The humble flight of my poor modest muse; Who fain would bring, in true, if halting lays, To worthy friends the tribute of her praise. First, I would thank all those who kindly smiled, When with my pan I former hours beguiled; And breathe a hope that some may now approve This little sketch, - my latest work of love; Record of wanderings over land and sea, And pleasures tasted, ne´er forgot to be; But even now enjoyed, with equal zest, Through memory´s power, as when they were posses´d. Most grateful thanks I gladly would convey To those who cheer´d each hardship on the way. In fancy´s teeming eye, I often view The ship Moravian and her gallant crew, Good Captain Graham, with his worthy band Of Officers who knew how to command; The jolly Steward, who o´er Life´s Ocean glides, As blithely as his ship the wave divides; The Purser, just, yet kind in use of power, And just the one to cheer a lonesome hour; For many such, my gratitude is due, Heatley and Mathers, to none more than you. Bear with me, reader, whilst I add a word, Of things not less essential, - bed and board; Oh! for each requisite that trouble saves, Each want supplied that poor frail Nature craves, If e´er again I cross that stormy sea, Good ship, Moravian, let me sail in thee! The voyage done, the Atlantic´s sullen roar, Exchanged for the Canadian rugged shore; Bleak looked the pine woods with their snowy crests, But kindly hearts beat warm in human breasts! Of their keen welcome, bright remembrance warms. Still warms my heart, Ah! in these mountain farms, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
