Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Attila, a Tragedy: And Other Poems
Blood must still be shed As incense to the mighty God of war. He ne'er shall sheathe his sanguinary sword, vhilst, from their Scythian haunts, the gallant Can, like a torrent swell'd by mountain ?oods, Pour forth. His sons to battle. May the earth Smoke with the life's blood of her multitudes, 'till their survivors, staggering in the gore, Rush on to deadlier carnage May the walls Of busy cities crumble into ruins, And havoc so distort the face of nature, That the Creator scarce shall know his work.
