Lost Shelley Poem Discovered After 195 Years

“A 20-page pamphlet with a 172-line poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, which no-one has read since 1811, has come to light,” reports the London Times. He wrote it to raise money for a journalist jailed for antiwar reporting.

An excerpt:

Millions to fight
compell’d, to fight or die
In mangled heaps on War’s red altar lie…
When legal murders swell the lists of pride;
When glory’s views the titled idiot guide
