Sixteen Hundred Lines To Pilgrims PDF Download

Excerpt from A Peep at the Pilgrims in Sixteen Hundred Thirty-Six: A Tale of Olden Times Apart from his companions, stood a young man whose countenance and figure were singularly prepossessing. In an attitude of deep attention, be regarded the new world which stretched around him - his dark eyes now sparkling with admiration, then softening into sadness, and again some object of sublimity or beauty kindling the glow of enthusiasm on his cheek. To him they seemed approaching a wilder ness, for already the forests were enveloped in darkness, and the gigantic hills invested with the shadows of twilight. Presently a dim speck appeared on the horizon: it was the little village of Plymouth, the most ancient of the settlements, fast rising into importance, and far-famed for the success and enterprise of its inhabitants.
