Excerpt from The Song of Albion: A Poem Commemorative of the Crisis, Lines on the Fall of Warsaw, And Other Poems Perhaps it may be thought presumption in one, if not "to Fame unknown, " of a petty notoriety that an individual might well wish to be rid of, - to attempt to commemorate the grand political crisis of our day and country: would that it were permitted an author to plead the nature of his motive, to say vulgarly - take the will for the deed. But in the world of taste, things well done, whatever the intention, will be praised: things ill done, will find no palliation in design. O that it had been for one of those, of late years wont to celebrate our grand historic epochs, to have undertaken, as he would have successfully accomplished, the present theme! But they who sang of war and of peace, are dumb to the struggles of patriotism, their harps are on the willows, and the strain of other days is heard no more. Glorious Era! Can there be two opinions at this time - two sincere opposite opinions? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
