SPEAK!... William Wordsworth

In "SPEAK!", William Wordsworth speaks of strong feelings of Nationalism. He almost seems disgusted that his audience isn't involving themselves with their nation. He questions their true feelings and asks "Is thy love a plant of such weak fibre that treacherous air of absence withers what was once so fair?" He wants to know if they've grown weak, and feeble. Wordsworth wants people to use their voice and speak up.

Wordsworth proves that this is a traditional Romance because of his expressed feelings for his country. Nationalism was strong around this time and his words would seem to be motivational for a nationalist.
