Aphra Behn lived and wrote in the 1600s and was the first woman in England to make a living as a professional writer. A politica

l spy, playwright, novelist, and poet, Aphra broke social barriers while her literary works tackled controversial topics, including slavery, racism, desire, and gender. Her writings were considered scandalous for the time.
A Thousand Martyrs
by Aphra Behn

A thousand martyrs I have made,

All sacrificed to my desire;

A thousand beauties have betrayed,

That languish in resistless fire.

The untamed heart to hand I brought,

And fixed the wild and wandering thought.



I never vowed nor sighed in vain

But both, though false, were well received.

The fair are pleased to give us pain,

And what they wish is soon believed.

And though I talked of wounds and smart,

Love’s pleasures only touched my heart.



Alone the glory and the spoil

I always laughing bore away;

The triumphs, without pain or toil,

Without the hell, the heav’n of joy.

And while I thus at random rove

Despise the fools that whine for love.

Read these lines from the poem.

Alone the glory and the spoil
I always laughing bore away;

Next, you’ll compare the speeches by Lewis and Lincoln. Begin by recording each author’s purpose, audience, and overall message
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the

great task remaining before us —that, from these

honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause

for which they here, gave the last full measure of

devotion—that we here highly resolve these dead shall

not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new

birth of freedom, and that government of the people by

the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate---we can not consecrate---

we can not hallow---this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who

struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add

or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say

here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living,

rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who

fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be

here dedicated to the great task remaining before us---that from

these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for

which they gave the last full measure of devotion---that we here

highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain---that this

nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom---and that

government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not

perish from the earth.
