richard mitchley - calais august 1802 by william wordsworth lyrics
Loading...
is it a reed that’s shaken by the wind
or what is it that ye go forth to see?
lords, lawyers, statesmen, squires of low degree
men known, and men unknown, sick, lame, and blind
post forward all, like creatures of one kind
with first+fruit offerings crowd to bend the knee
in france, before the new+born majesty
’tis ever thus. ye men of prostrate mind
a seemly reverence may be paid to power;
but that’s a loyal virtue, never sown
in haste, nor springing with a transient shower:
when truth, whеn sense, when libеrty were flown
what hardship had it been to wait an hour?
shame on you, feeble heads, to slavery pr+ne!
