THE PRAYER OF BRUTUS, by MARCUS JUNIUS BRUTUS First Line: Goddess of woods, tremendous in the chase Last Line: And quires of virgins celebrate thy praise? Alternate Author Name(s): Quintus Caepio Brutus | |||
Goddess of Woods, tremendous in the chace, To Mountain-wolves and all the Savage race, Wide o'er th' aerial Vault extends thy sway, And o'er th' infernal Regions void of day, On thy third Reign look down; disclose our Fate, In what new Nation shall we fix our Seat? When shall we next thy hallow'd Altars raise, And Quires of Virgins celebrate thy praise? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN THE JEWISH SYNAGOGUE AT NEWPORT by EMMA LAZARUS OLD OSAWATOMIE by CARL SANDBURG THE WINSOME WEE THING by ROBERT BURNS HOLIDAY AT HAMPTON COURT by JOHN DAVIDSON CITIZEN OF THE WORLD by ALFRED JOYCE KILMER |
