strength of Spain is shattered, her ships are sunk or fled, the sea
has swallowed her soldiers and her sailors by hundreds and by
thousands, and England breathes again. They came to conquer, to
bring us to the torture and the stake--to do to us free Englishmen
as Cortes did by the Indians of Anahuac. Our manhood to the slave
bench, our daughters to dishonour, our souls to the loving-kindness
of the priest, our wealth to the Emperor and the Pope! God has
answered them with his winds, Drake has answered them with his
guns. They are gone, and with them the glory of Spain. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

weeds and grass of the open Kansas prairie;
it lay, a thin veil on the scrawny black
horses and the sharp-boned cow picketed near a
covered wagon; it showered to the ground in little
clouds as Mrs. Wade, a tall, spare woman, moved
about a camp-fire, preparing supper in a sizzling
skillet, huge iron kettle and blackened coffee-pot. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
