Excerpt from Pocahontas, Princess of Virginia: And Other Poems
The author has but a word to say, and that is a word of thanks, to those personal friends whose kindness and encouragement have brought this present volume to the light. If the private friendship and the good will of those whose favor it is an honor to enjoy, can avail anything to support a difficult task with cheerfulness, the author is so cheered and supported in this publication. That the liberality given to the MSS. will also be extended to the book, he has no doubt; and in this good hope, he willingly intrusts his undertaking to the care of his friends.

The beings of the mind are not of clay; Essentially immortal, they create And multiply in us a brighter ray And more belored existence :that which fate Prohibits to doll life, in this our state Of mortal bondage, by these spirits supplied, First exiles then replaces, what we hate; Watering the heart whose early flowers have died, And with a fresher growth replenishing the void. liOSD Mrov.
