Pageant of Jamestown
Where Cavalier and Roundhead meet in trade,
The States begin; the peninsula proclaims
A continent, until gray soldiers wade
To fortify an island in the James.
England first settles here, and here it is
The country starts; then twelve years later, we
Elect for law a House of Burgesses,
And import Africans for slavery.
