Excerpt from Ralegh: His Exploits and Voyages Sir walter ralegh was famous in several fields of action. His younger manhood was spent in the midst of the most brilliant royal court which English palaces ever held. Later, he proved his courage and military prowess in more than one bitterly contested battle-field and naval con¿ict. In middle life, and again in old age, he braved the great deep and the perils of savage lands, in the sturdy attempt to make discoveries, and to settle English colonies in the new world. His love of his own land, and his hatred of her enemies, were always ardent, nor did he permit the harsh ill treatment to which he was subjected by the hos tility of his rivals, the intrigues of Spain, the caprices of Queen Elizabeth, and the insurmount able dislike of King James, to dampen or dull the fire of his patriotism.
