Excerpt from Heötha and Melech, and Other Poems It was the author's intention to permit the pages which follow to make their own way, without any word whatever of preface or introduction. Second thoughts, however, have prompted him to prefix a few words to the trifling contribution to the poetry of the day which follows. The first piece of the series, "Heotha and Melech, " as will readily be perceived, is allegorical, nor need the circumstances which suggested the allegory be dwelt on, or perhaps, indeed, even mentioned. The events of the past year are of too recent, as well as in many respects too awakening a character, as regards Ireland and her Church, to allow them to slumber in the recollection of many. The poem in question was written partly as an alleviation of not a few cares and trials, accompanying the events referred to, and partly to give expression to some of the feelings and impressions thus left on the mind of the writer. Friends to whom it was shown, whether wisely or not remains to be proved, advised its publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
