Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Drunkard, Vol. 1 of 2: A Poetic Reading The Drunkard. Part I. Ladies and gentlemen, we beg to show, A picture sad; and try to stem the tide Of drunkenness - the cause of grievous woe - A fact too true, for no one has denied. Hear patiently our words in this regard, Orverses, which we name (or term) "The Drunkard." "Drunkard!" our term; not an inebriate: The working-people better understand A term they know, than one that might defeat The object of our reading in the end. And so we style our poetry, "The Drunkard," As little children understand the word. We beg leave to exhibit this sad picture; Perhaps show worse condition of our race - Show rum-distortion of the human structure, Show change which drunkenness stamps on mind and face: If the worst curses could be all combined, True represent in drunkard you can find. Can it be possible that this young lad, Now sixteen, should, when he is twenty-one, Be, by contamination, drunkard made - His heart, now tender, whiskified to stone? What made the sad, repulsive change we see? His weeping mother sobs, "Bad company." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
