Congratulatory Addresses Recited in the Theatre, Oxford

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Congratulatory Addresses Recited in the Theatre, Oxford: At the Installation of the Right Hon. The Earl of Derby, Chancellor of the University, MDCCCLIII As when a Mother home from some far clime Welcomes her Son, Who in the strife of men for masteries By bold advent´rous deeds of high emprize Hath well fulfill´d the promise of his prime - Ev´n thus Oxonia welcomes back to day With plaudits loud and pomp and bright array, One who her fairest meed of praise hath won. - Skilful erewhile to weave the flowers of song. He wand´ring woo´d with soft Virgilian strains Isis, thy pleasant fields and groves among, The tuneful Nine; And, duteous, offer´d here at Learning´s shrine The first-fruits of his sweet Poetic pains. But these delights his ardent soul forbore: Full well he knew That whoso would achieve a nobler prize And wield a mighty Nation´s destinies, From heights serene the world´s vast field must view; Dwell with the pure and just in every age. Drink in their burning words; in Hist´ry´s page The wide far-stretching wondrous Past explore; Men, maxims, countries, laws therewith compare; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
