In Verse" by James Parkerson is a collection of moral poetry written in the early 19th century. This work delves into the societal behaviors and moral dilemmas individuals face, utilizing verse to impart wisdom and reflect on the consequences of actions associated with dissipated lifestyles, criminality, and personal relationships. The collection serves as a didactic exploration of character and morality. The poems within this collection tackle various themes ranging from the consequences of excessive drinking to reflections on crime and its impacts on families and society. The poem "Admonitions to the Dissipated" warns against the pitfalls of excess and the degradation of character that can lead individuals to ruin, while “The Convict's Farewell” provides a poignant reflection on loss and regret faced by someone grappling with the ramifications of their choices. Additional verses address themes of fidelity, societal expectations, and the intrinsic struggles of moral living, aiming to encourage readers to reflect on their own actions and their broader implications within society.
