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...A MAN BY THE NAME OF BOLUS by JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY THE MOURNER A LA MODE by JOHN GODFREY SAXE THE IRISH MOTHER IN THE PENAL DAYS by JOHN BANIM ADOLESCENCE by MAVIS CLARE BARNETT MISTRESS FATE by WILLIAM ROSE BENET THE ANCIENT THREE by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE TOWARDS DEMOCRACY: PART 2.
