 The Pagan Pilgrim: Thomas Morton of Merrymount
Morton penned a courtly poem for the occasion full of references to Greek mythology and gods and goddesses "which although it were made according to the occurrents [fashions] of the time," he later wrote, "puzzled the Separatists [as the Puritans were then called] most pitifully to expound it.
Miles Standish and his troops invaded Merrymount, seized Morton without a shot fired in defense – to avoid bloodshed, according to Morton; because the inhabitants were too drunk to lift their weapons, according to Bradford – and hauled him in chains before the governor to be tried for his supposed crimes.
A happy footnote to Merrymount's history is that the community at Mt. Wollaston (later Braintree, then Quincy) continued to be associated with rebels and freethinkers for many years after Morton was forced out.
