Browne's own poetry is rather disappointing, with perhaps the exception of the pseudo-Nostrodamus quatrains of his 'Prophecy concerning future state of several nations'. 'When america shall cease to send out its Treasure/But employ it instead in american Pleasure'. What a prophetic utterance 'American Pleasure' has turned out to be !<br /> Kevin Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482886706239506749noreply@blogger.com
