Explore "John Underhill" by John Greenleaf Whittier on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A SCORE of years had come and gone / Since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth stone, / When Captain Underhill, bearing scars / From Indian ambush and Flemish wars, / Left three-hilled Boston and wandered down, / East by north, to Cocheco town.
With Vane the younger, in counsel sweet, / He had sat at Anna Hutchinson's feet, / And, when the bolt of banishment fell / On the head of his saintly oracle, / He had shared her ill as her good report, / And braved the wrath of the General Court.
