Excerpt from Guthrum the Dane: A Tale of the Heptarchy Soul of the Last and Mightiest Of all the Minstrels - be thou blest! For that thou hast bequeathed to me A great and glorious Legacy, Such as no other single mind - Save Shakspeare's - ever left behind! One, not of earth, or earth-born gold, In acres broad, or sums untold, Which may by heirs be wasted, may, By lawless force, be swept away, Or meanly filched by legal stealth, But a bequest of mental wealth! Left not to me alone, although As much my own as if 'twere so, And yet, high thanks to art divine! As much the worlds, as it is mine, E'en like the air, or like the sun, Enjoyed by all, engrossed by none, Diffused, unspent, entire, though shared, And undiminished, unimpaired, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
