Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Romano More: Or, Y Old Pilgrims to Y New on Forefathers' Day
Ye Old Pilgrims
They left, 'tis true, old England's shores,
Her trees, her lawns, her hedges; -
They left unsettled some old scores,
And gave no bonds or pledges.
From judgment and from prison came,
Cut off their generation;
To heraldry unknown, and fame,
To feudal rank and station.
But had we not in them been loined,
Who would have sung and praised them?
Grand speeches made, sweet phrases coined,
Or shaft, unfinished, raised them?
Once more, we watch them cross the sea,
On Plymouth rock ascending;
Once more, to God they bend the knee,
With wave their voices blending.
Again we're rushing down the shore,
To be the first to meet them;
Behind are sev'ral thousand more,
Would like to toast and eat them.
