Sivu 61 - Floridas from tyranny and oppression. Then shall I hope to lead you to the continent of South America to gather fresh laurels in freedom's cause. Your names will be transmitted to the latest posterity, as the first who formed a solid basis for the emancipation of those delightful and fruitful regions, now in a great part groaning under the oppressive hand of Spanish despotism. The children of South America will re-echo your names in their songs; your heroic deeds will be handed down to succeeding...
Sivu 1 - Wie nimmt ein leidenschaftlich Stammeln Geschrieben sich so seltsam aus! Nun soll ich gar von Haus zu Haus Die losen Blätter alle sammeln. » Was eine lange weite Strecke Im Leben von einander stand, Das kommt nun unter Einer Decke Dem guten Leser in die Hand.
