Walter Savage Landor

Here you will find the Poem Macaulay of poet Walter Savage Landor

Macaulay

THE DREAMY rhymer?s measur?d snore
Falls heavy on our ears no more;
And by long strides are left behind
The dear delights of woman-kind,
Who win their battles like their loves, 
In satin waistcoats and kid gloves,
And have achiev?d the crowning work
When they have truss?d and skewer?d a Turk.
Another comes with stouter tread,
And stalks among the statelier dead. 
He rushes on, and hails by turns
High-crested Scott, broad-breasted Burns,
And shows the British youth, who ne?er
Will lag behind, what Romans were,
When all the Tuscans and their Lars 
Shouted, and shook the towers of Mars.
