As can be guessed from the title, this book is a collection of poems written by Friedrich Schiller. More than a dozen works are featured, including the following: ' Reproach. To Laura', 'The Simple Peasant', 'Actaeon', 'Man's Dignity', and 'The Messiah'. Here's an excerpt from 'Actaeon': "Thy wife is destined to deceive thee! / She'll seek another's arms and leave thee / And horns upon thy head will shortly sprout! / How dreadful that when bathing thou shouldst see me."
