Explore "Dupont's Round Fight. (November, 1861.)" by Herman Melville on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In time and measure perfect moves / All Art whose aim is sure; / Evolving ryhme and stars divine / Have rules, and they endure.
Nor less the Fleet that warred for Right, / And, warring so, prevailed, / In geometric beauty curved, / And in an orbit sailed.
The rebel at Port Royal felt / The Unity overawe, / And rued the spell. A type was here, / And victory of Law.
