HARRIET MARTINEAU - ZaunköniG - 15.04.2022
HARRIET MARTINEAU
ENGLAND ! I grant that them dost justly boast
Of splendid Geniuses beyond compare ;
Men great and gallant Women good and fair
Skilled in all arts, and filling every post
Of learning, science, fame a mighty host !
Poes divine, and Benefactors rare
Statesmen Philosophers and they who dare
Boldly to explore Heaven's vast and boundless coast.
To one alone I dedicate this rhyme,
Whose virtues with a starry lustre glow ;
Whose heart is large, whose spirit is sublime,
The friend of Liberty, of Wrong the foe :
Long be inscribed upon the roll of Time,
The name, the worth, the works, of HARRIET MARTINEAU. !
