THE PRAYER OF BRUTUS, by MARCUS JUNIUS BRUTUS First Line: Goddess of woods, tremendous in the chase Last Line: And quires of virgins celebrate thy praise? Alternate Author Name(s): Quintus Caepio Brutus | |||
Goddess of Woods, tremendous in the chace, To Mountain-wolves and all the Savage race, Wide o'er th' aerial Vault extends thy sway, And o'er th' infernal Regions void of day, On thy third Reign look down; disclose our Fate, In what new Nation shall we fix our Seat? When shall we next thy hallow'd Altars raise, And Quires of Virgins celebrate thy praise? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOW TIDE ON GRAND-PRE by BLISS CARMAN SEVEN TIMES THREE [ - LOVE] by JEAN INGELOW THE JACQUERIE: SONG.
