COMPLETE Captain Sword and Captain Pen by Leigh Hunt -ck

[Carolin]

Captain Sword and Captain Pen: A Poem by Leigh Hunt (1784 - 1859).

This project is now complete! All audio files can now be found on the catalog page for this project https://librivox.org/captain-sword-and-captain-pen-a-poem-by-leigh-hunt/

This Poem is the result of a sense of duty, which has taken the Author from quieter studies during a great public crisis. He obeyed the impulse with joy, because it took the shape of verse; but with more pain, on some accounts, than he chooses to express. However, he has done what he conceived himself bound to do; and if every zealous lover of his species were to express his feelings in like manner, to the best of his ability, individual opinions, little in themselves, would soon amount to an overwhelming authority, and hasten the day of reason and beneficence.

  3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim.

Postscript

part 1
please read until
Of what use is it to see the representative of a by-gone influence—a poor individual mortal (for he is nothing else in the comparison), fretting and fuming on the shore of this mighty sea, and playing the part of a Canute reversed,—an antic really taking his flatterers at their word?

part 2
please start at
The first thirty-five years of the nineteenth century have been rich in experiences of the sure and certain failure of all soldiership and Toryism to go heartily along in the cause of the many.
