" N. B. It is now in the records at Westminster, James the Second, 1687. HERBERT, Chief Justice. WYTHENS, HOLLOWAY, . > Justices. AND WRIGHT, OLD BOOTY. OR THE DEVIL AND THE BAKER. No moon shone in the sullen sky, Nor gazed one cloud with starry eye, But all was gloom around ; Save where Strombolo's burning isle, Upon the darkness deigned to smile, And threw, athwart the shrinking wave, A glare, like that from murderer's glaive, Showing the fated wretch his grave, Deep in some desert ground ! O...LD BOOTY. No breath was stirring in the air, But all seem'd stifled terror there ; No sea bird wing'd its wheeling flight, But e'en the very waves, As conscious of the reign of night, Lay hush'd in Ocean's caves ! It was a calm so deep and dead, That (gazing round the while with dread) Each sailor to his shipmate said, " There'll be a storm anon ! " And 'twas agreed, to banish sleep, We on the deck a watch should keep, Till night and storm were gone ! Our bark lay off that isle of fire, So near, no sounds however small, Were murmured by the flames in ire, But we could hear them all !
