Songs of the Carolina Charter Colonists, 1663-1763 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Songs of the Carolina Charter Colonists, 1663-1763

In Canto the Third of Lord Byron's Don juan occurs one of the most famous and beautiful of his songs. Sung at the Spousal rites of Don Juan and the Greek girl Haidee, it is attributed to Their poet, a sad trimmer (in Byron's satire, none other than the poet-laureate Robert Southey). In The Isles of Greece, Lord Byron tells what the political slavery of a people is like, why they may remain slaves, and how alone they are to win back their freedom. It is one of Byron's most passionate attacks against tyranny, one of his most lofty utterances on his great theme of emancipation.
