Belshazzar: A Dramatic Poem is a work of literature written by Henry Hart Milman and published in 1822. The poem is based on the biblical story of Belshazzar, the last king of Babylon, who is famously known for his lavish feast and the writing on the wall that foretold his downfall. Milman’s version of the story explores the themes of power, pride, and divine retribution.The poem is divided into five acts and features a cast of characters that includes Belshazzar, his queen, his counselors, and the prophet Daniel. The plot follows Belshazzar as he prepares for his grand feast and revels in his power and wealth. However, his arrogance and disregard for the divine ultimately lead to his downfall, as the writing on the wall foretells his kingdom’s destruction and his own death.Milman’s writing style is characterized by its use of vivid imagery and poetic language, which bring the story to life in a dramatic and engaging way. The poem also contains several moral lessons, including the dangers of pride and the importance of heeding divine warnings.Overall, Belshazzar: A Dramatic Poem is a compelling work of literature that explores timeless themes of power, pride, and divine justice. It is a must-read for anyone interested in biblical stories, poetry, or classic literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
