Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Legends of the Netherlands: To Which Are Added Some Legends of Manhattan Island
Who shall sing of the Tectosages, Sons of marshy Belgian soil, Foremost Where the battle rages, Seeking conquest, loving spoil? Gaul 'has seen their roving legions, Of resistance making mock, Occupy her choicest regions, Settling in fair Languedoc.
N ot' yet are their wanderings ended, Down the Danube pour their hordes, Macedonia, undefended, Heeds their summons, dreads their swords. Swim they next the deep Bosphorus, Timid Asia fears the fray, Hears their wild, barbaric chorus, Yields to their imperious sway.
