Explore "Virginia" by Thomas Babington Macaulay on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Ye good men of the Commons, with loving hearts and true, / Who stand by the bold Tribunes that still have stood by you, / Come, make a circle round me, and mark my tale with care, / A tale of what Rome once hath borne, of what Rome yet may bear.
This is no Grecian fable, of fountains running wine, / Of maids with snaky tresses, or sailors turned to swine.
