A mighty shaft through Raleigh's fingers slipped. Smith shot it, and — a Continent awoke ! For that great arrow with an acorn tipped, Planted an English Oak ! III. The Oaks and the Tempest. Oaks multiplied apace, and o'er the seas Big rumors went in many a winding ring ; And stories fabulous on every breeze Swept to a distant King. Full many a tale of wild romance, and myth, In large hyperbole the New World told, 7 97 A Wreath of Virginia Bay Leaves. And down from days of Raleigh and of Smith T...he Colonies meant gold. Not from Banchoonan's mines came forth the ore, But from the waters, and the woods, and fields, Paid for in blood, but bringing more and more The wealth that labor yields. Then seeing this, that King beyond the sea, The jus divinum filling all his soul, Bethought him that he held these lands in fee And absolute control. When this high claim in action was displayed With one accord the young Plantations spoke, And told him, English-like, they were not made To plough with such a yoke.
