Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Robert E. Lee, or Heroes of the South: A Poem Invocation to Truth - Lincoln, President of the United States - His policy towards the South - The assembling of the Southern armies - The "On to Richmond" - General Lee arrives in Richmond, and is placed in command - The armies engage in terrible conflicts - Mr. Davis secretly sends Lee to ask succor of Victoria, queen of England - The hero, together with Mason, sets sail - He is overtaken by a terrible tempest caused by the Furies of Puritan - He lands on an island, where an old Revolutionary soldier predicts to him his fate, and, conditionally, that of his country. Preoemium. Aid me O Muse! while I, in reckless flight, Attempt the pathway, and the tow´ring hight Of those, whose genius wrapt in dazzling maze, Doth scorch the wings that flutter round its blaze: Of its bright visions giant me to partake, Or ease my fate for honest effort´s sake. Of heroes of the Southern land I sing, As brave as ever fought for right or king, Or Roman lance or Spartan armor wore, Or ever trod the Hellespontic shore: And they had learned in noble valor´s school, Themselves to govern and mankind to rule: To hold their birthright and their faith maintain, They nobly sacrificed their all, in vain.
