GIVE ME LIBERTY The Struggle for Self-Government in Virginia THOMAS J. WERTENBAKER CHAPTER I THE CORNERSTONE OF LIBERTY Three little vessels-the Susan Constant, the Godspeed, and the Discovery-left England in December, 1606, under the command of Captain Christopher Newport, to found a colony on the distant shores of Virginia. Two decades earlier Sir Walter Raleigh had sent out a group of settlers to what is now North Carolina, and they had disappeared mysteriously. What had happened to them? men asked. Had they been killed by the Indians? Had they fallen victims to disease? Had they starved? Those who shared in this new venture must have wondered if a like fate awaited them in this strange new land. But their spirits rose when they entered Chesapeake Bay. Landing parties were delighted with the "fair meddowes ... full of flowers of divers kinds and colors," the "goodly tall trees," and the streams of fresh water. It was a smiling country which seemed to bid them welcome. But when they entered the mouth of a broad river, which they called the James in honor of their King, and made their way up into the country, new doubts must have assailed them. They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe? What is the main point of the descriptive details at the beginning of the second paragraph? (5 points) Select one: a. To place the reader in the moment of the first landing b. To describe what the colonists were up against c. To create a sense of fear and anxiety d. To end the journey on a hopeful note

Asteroid Company’s management is faced with the problem of financing a new project venture. Assume that management finances already-existing assets and those required for a new project with debts that have a value at maturity of Br. 4,200,000 for each project. Each of the debts is a zero-coupon debt and that the difference between Br. 4,200,000 and the present value of the debt at the start of each project is financed by equity capital. Management can decide to finance existing assets (Project X) and new project assets (Project Y) separately by using a project finance approach, or they could finance the combined projects using a corporate finance approach. Required: a. If management decided for corporate financing, i.e., cash flows from Projects X and Y are used jointly to repay the debts contracted for existing and new venture assets, what would be the payoffs to creditors and shareholders of the company under each scenario? b.

"A Valentine"
by Edgar Allan Poe

For her this rhyme is penned whose luminous eyes,
Brightly expressive as the twins of Leda,
Shall find her own sweet name, that nestling lies
Upon the page, enwrapped from every reader.
Search narrowly the lines!—they hold a treasure
Divine—a talisman—an amulet
That must be worn at heart. Search well the measure—
The words—the syllables! Do not forget
The trivialest point, or you may lose your labor
And yet there is in this no Gordian knot
Which one might not undo without a sabre,
If one could merely comprehend the plot.
Enwritten upon the leaf where now are peering
Eyes scintillating soul, there lie perdus
Three eloquent words oft uttered in the hearing
Of poets, by poets—as the name is a poet's, too,
Its letters, although naturally lying
Like the knight Pinto—Mendez Ferdinando—
Still form a synonym for Truth—Cease trying!
You will not read the riddle, though you do the best you can do.

Read the following poem about the epic hero Odysseus (Ulysses is his Roman name) and answer the questions that follow.



“Ulysses” by Alfred Tennyson

It little profits that an idle king,

By this still hearth, among these barren crags,*

Matched with an aged wife, I mete and dole

Unequal laws* unto a savage race,





That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.

I cannot rest from travel: I will drink

Life to the lees*: all times I have enjoyed

Greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those

That loved me, and alone; on shore, and when



5

Through scudding* drifts the rainy Hyades

Vest the dim sea: I am become a name;

For always roaming with a hungry heart

Much have I seen and known; cities of men

And manners, climates, councils, governments,



10

Myself not least, but honored of them all; And drunk delight of battle with my peers; Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy*.

I am part of all that I have met;

Yet all experience is an arch wherethrough



15

Gleams that untraveled world, whose margin fades For ever and for ever when I move.

How dull it is to pause, to make an end,

To rust unburnished, not to shine in use!

As though to breathe were life. Life piled on life



20

Were all to little, and of one to me

Little remains: but every hour is saved

From that eternal silence, something more,

A bringer of new things; and vile it were

For some three suns to store and hoard myself,



25

And this gray spirit yearning in desire

To follow knowledge like a sinking star,

Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.

This is my son, mine own Telemachus,

To whom I leave the scepter and the isle-



30

Well-loved of me, discerning to fulfill

This labor, by slow prudence to make mild A rugged people, and through soft degrees Subdue them to the useful and the good.

Most blameless is he, centered in the sphere



35

Of common duties, decent not to fail

In offices of tenderness, and pay

Meet* adoration to my household gods,

When I am gone. He works his work, I mine.



40

There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:



45

There gloom the dark broad seas. My mariners,

Souls that have toiled, and wrought, and thought with me-

That ever with a frolic welcome took

The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed

Free hearts, free foreheads- you and I are old;



Old age had yet his honor and his toil;

Death closes all: but something ere the end,

Some work of noble note, may yet be done,

Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.

The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:

50

The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.

Push off, and sitting well in order smite

55

The sounding furrows*; for my purpose holds

To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths 60

Of all the western stars*, until I die.

It may be that the gulfs will wash us down: It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles*,

And see the great Achilles*, whom we knew.

Though much is taken, much abides; and though 65

We are not now that strength which in the old days

Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;

One equal-temper of heroic hearts,

Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. 70

2 barren crags: here, the rugged landscape of Ithaca, the Greek island where Ulysses lives
