A broadside shattered the night, and over her side Her main-yard clattered like a broken wing! On to her decks the British sea-dogs swarmed, Cutlass in hand: that fight was at an end. The ship was cleared, a prize crew placed on board, 175 DRAKE Then both ships turned their heads to the open sea. At dawn, being out of sight of land, they 'gan Examine the great prize. None ever knew Save Drake and Gloriana what wild wealth They had captured there. Thus much at least was known : An hundredweight ...of gold, and twenty tons Of silver bullion; thirteen chests of coins; Nuggets of gold unnumbered; countless pearls, Diamonds, and emeralds; but the worth of these Was past all reckoning. In the crimson dawn, Ringed with the lonely pomp of sea and sky, The naked-footed seamen bathed knee-deep In gold and gathered up Aladdin's fruit All-coloured gems and tossed them in the sun. The hold like one great elfin orchard gleamed With dusky globes and tawny glories piled, Hesperian apples, heap on mellow heap, Rich with the hues of sunset, rich and ripe And ready for the enchanted cider-press; An Emperor's ransom in each burning orb ; A kingdom's purchase in each clustered bough; The freedom of all slaves in every chain.
