A Prospect of Manchester and its Neighbourhood, from Chamber, upon the Rising Grounds, Adjacent to the Great Northern Road: A Poem
A PROSPECT
OF
MANCHESTER
AND ITS
NEIGHBOURHOOD,
FROM
Chamber,
UPON THE RISING GROUNDS,
ADJACENT TO THE
Great Northern Road:
A POEM.
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd,
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go mark him well,
For him no minstrel raptures swell.
Scott's Lay of the last Minstrel.

Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd,
As home his footsteps he hath turn'd
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go mark him well,
For him no minstrel raptures swell.
