Excerpt from The Gathered Waifs: Containing Lyrics and Odes; Patriotic, Martial, and Religious Swings censers facing some Egyptian god, And watch the incense in the Ephesian fane Rise to the top of yon cathedral dome. Haste to the forest and Hyrcanian wilds, Where greedy wolves devour defenceless lambs; Go, like the troubadour or wandering Jew, Search out the beggar in his bed of straw, Where Islam wields his Simitar of steel, The Orient hospice shelters homeless guest; Or perish in the pit of horrid Robur, Like brave Jugurtha, hurled to traitor's doom. Go, thou Iconoclast, through F olly's land, And smite the idols of the human mind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
