Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Vindication of James Hepburn: Fourth Earl of Bothwell, Third Husband of Mary, Queen of Scots "But who that Chief? - His name on every shore Is famed and fear´d - they ask, and know no more. With these he mingles not but to command; Few are his words, but keen his eye and hand. Ne´er seasons he with mirth their jovial mess, But they forgive his silence for success. ´Steer to that shore I´ - they sail. ´Do this!´ - ´tis done. ´Now form and follow me!´ - the spoil is won. Thus prompt his accents and his actions still, And all obey, and few inquire his will. Yet they repine not, so that Conrad guides; And who dare question aught that he decides? Still sways their souls with that commanding art That dazzles, leads, yet chills the vulgar heart. What is that spell that thus his lawless train Confess and envy, yet oppose in vain? What should it be that thus their faith can bind? The power of Thought, - the magic of the Mind! Linked with success, assumed and kept with skill, That moulds another´s weakness to its will; Wields with their hands, but, still to these unknown, Makes even their mightiest deeds appear his own. Such hath it been, shall be, beneath the sun, - The many still must labor for the one! ´Tis Nature´s doom; but let the wretch who toils Accuse not, hate not him who wears the spoils. Oh! if he knew the weight of splendid chains, How light the balance of his humbler pains!" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
