Excerpt from PocahontasEye the great Sun and smile, if he beginTo vaunt how many orbs to him are leal, If thou, no planet, dost a charm conceal, Spheres, for sprent atoms, holy sparks within.O Heart, make freemen of us all who bleed -What other quest were royal, but to die, If, that we love and dare to deifyBestride the pole-wind to escape our need? -Ah! Love, not less a passion, seek delightIn rearing hearts, stunned by the overthrowOf hopes, we more esteem, the less we know, Duped by the heart we banish far from sight, Opprest by doubt, if prayer for it be right.Who doubts his heart, doubts on, till quoted wise, Who trusts it once doth after smirk its fool -In vain, a God, or precept from the Skies, To crown the head the mightier heart to rule.Look, yon, and mark Ambition as she rearsMuch envy sun-ward, and again beholdA woman spoil a monarch with her tears, Afraid of fame, if his, a bosom coldTo her beseeching look and melting heart.O Man, how fitly thou to die for her!O Woman, how divine the gift, or art, Or charm exalts him, erst, thy worshipper, To him thy lips to vespers soon prefer!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
