Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Slavery; Its Origin, Progress and Effects: A Poem Slavery; A Poem To tempt the palate or to please the eye Or charm the smell of every passer by. The epicure his carnal taste to please Found surfeiting in plenty from the trees, And while upon his sensual pleasures bent Could eat and sleep to his own heart´s content. And there amidst these stores of fruitful wealth The temperate man found nourishment and health, With chastened taste selected well his food And ate just what he knew would do him good. The invalid, enfeebled by disease, Found sweet refreshment in each balmy breeze. Tasted each fruit, breathed health from every flower. Regained his strength and owned kind nature´s power. ´Twas well for us would we correct our taste And choose from vegetation our repast; For though kind nature to that land has given A warmer climate and a milder heaven, Where fruits spontaneous grow, of every kind To please the taste and satisfy the mind; And though our clime requires laborious toil To cultivate and fertilize the soil, Yet well inured to meet the virtuous strife And taught by nature´s God the laws of life, Here may we dwell in our delightful home And ne´er desire in foreign lands to roam; Here feast luxurious on the bounteous fruits Nature and art produce; nor slay the brutes To glut the carnal appetite with food Fit for those beasts of prey who thirst for blood. But temperate feasting will our health insure, Our thirst allayed with nature´s beverage pure, Each walk the path designed by nature´s God, None then will dread his all avenging rod; True manhood then will beam from every face, The tribes of earth become a virtuous race.
