Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hartford: An Epic Poem Arms and the men I sing who erst to Connecticut land came, Founding a Puritan Colony there by the River at Hart- ford; - Men of intelligence chiefly, and men of integrity also, - Men whose Religion was certainly not a mere shallow profession, But was the constantly active incentive, the root and the mainspring Of their demeanor and custom, their enterprise, and of their life-work. Lovers of Liberty and the advantages of it by nature, Yet their endeavors were mainly to gain that Freedom of Worship Which was denied them where they were born and had sported in childhood. Much they had suffered in Albion land for the free- dom of Conscience, - Scourged, and imprisoned, and fined, and committed to murderous hot flames, - Scorned, and pursued with implacable hatred, they bore it a long time; Then, in despair of obtaining the rights they had earn- estly sought there, They had sojourned in the Netherlands, waiting and hoping for some change Making it possible they should return to that beautiful England Where they were born, and for which in their tedious and pitiful exile Always they yearned with a warmth and a tenderness not to be set forth Fairly and fully with adequate strength and perfection of language.
