Poem reflecting a daughter’s lament for a drunkard father. It speaks of a fallen promise, a youth’s charms turned to bitterness, and the moral weight of a life ruined by alcohol. The speaker bids others to kneel, pray, and witness the father’s suffering, and to feel the sobering memory of what might have been.
The London Times lauds Prussian advances against Saxony and Hanover, praising rapid mobilization and deft command. It notes Austrian forces failed to prevent Prussian progress, lamenting missed chances to counter, while praising Prussian strategy and the broader European implications.
The piece weighs Prussia as rising master of Germany, overrun Hanover and Saxony, while Austria collapses. It argues Prussia may absorb small states but not subjugate all Germany, hopes for German Parliament, and notes Napoleon III and Francis Joseph’s roles. It ends with English royal ties in war looming.
