Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Don Juan: Canto the Seventeenth I. I want a hero: - an uncommon want, When every year and month sends forth a new one. Till, after cloying the gazettes with cant, The age discovers he is not the true one; Of such as these I should not care to vaunt, I´ll therefore take our ancient friend Don Juan - We all have seen him, in the pantomime Sent to the devil somewhat ere his time. II. Vernon, the butcher Cumberland, Wolfe, Hawke, Prince Ferdinand, Granby, Burgoyne, Keppel, Howe Evil and good, have had their tithe of talk. And fill´d their sign-posts then, like Wellesley now; Each in their turn like Banquo´ monarchs stalk, Followers of fame, "nine farrow" of that sow: France, too, had Buonaparte and Dumourier Recorded in the Moniteur and Courier. III. Barnave, Brissot, Condorcet, Mirabeau, Petion, Clootz, Danton, Marat, La Fayette, Were French, and famous people, as we know; And there were others, scarce forgotten yet, Joubert, Hoche, Marceau, Lannes, Desaix, Moreau, With many of the military set. Exceedingly remarkable at times, But not at all adapted to my rhymes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
