Excerpt from Don Carlos: A Dramatic PoemWere that alone thy glory, that thy nameIs linked to Schiller's, and that worthilyThou hast interpreted his gorgeous muse, -Deathless thou wert with mighty "Wallenstein."'Tis not for this - a link that lightly wroughtIn sport, and generous devotednessThy teeming mind - I trace, with timid pen, Upon this page thy honor'd name. Were IA worthy spokesman of the gen'ral thought, And to the multitud'nous voice, which speaksProphetic thy undying fame, could giveFit echo, 'twould not be, this accident, Of thy renown I would record, that thouReflectest perfectly a giant's mind:'Twould be, the bright creations thou hast sentResplendent from thy brain with life and light -The glowing gifts of genius to the world, To radiate beauty everlastingly. -'Tis not the wish to sound thy praise: - that wereUnmeet in me, as 'twere to thee - contentWith truth's and genius' inward recompence -Unwelcome. Thankfulness and love for whatThou'st sung and taught, would utter here - where breathesGreat Schiller's spirit, reverenc'd of thee -Their voice. 'Twill reach thy ear, o'er ocean's waveAfar, from 'mongst a mighty people sent, Whose richest heritage is Shakspeare's tongue.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
