ON THE MARIAGE OF THE KING: OF GEORGE, AND PROPERTY, by THOMAS WARTON THE YOUNGER Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Lo! This the land, where freedom's sacred rage Last Line: And guards, while plenty gives, the golden grain. Subject(s): Courts & Courtiers; Property; Possessions | |||
Lo! this the land, where Freedom's sacred rage Has glow'd untamed through many a martial age. ... Here wak'd the flame, that still superior braves The proudest threats of Gaul's ambitious slaves; Here Chivalry, stern school of valour old, Her noblest feats of knightly fame enroll'd; Heroic champions caught the clarion's call, And throng'd the feast in Edward's banner'd hall; While chiefs, like GEORGE, approv'd in worth alone, Unlock'd chaste Beauty's adamantine zone. Lo! the famed isle, which hails thy chosen sway, What fertile fields her temperate suns display! Where Property secures the conscious swain, And guards, while Plenty gives, the golden grain. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ODE; CHAMBER AND SOUL by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS FAREWELL TO FARGO: SELLING THE HOUSE by KAREN SWENSON GETTING AND SPENDING by LINDA GREGERSON LEGAL FICTION by WILLIAM EMPSON SONNET: 9.
