A thoufand times, to irritate our woe.
He wifh'd us founder'd in the gulph below ; A thoufand times, he brandifh'd high his ftick.
And fwore as often that we were not Tick And yet fo pale ! — that we v/ere thought by fome A freight of ghofts, from death's dominions com.e But calm'd at length — for who can always rage, 94 THE BRITISH PRISON-SHIP.
Or the fierce war of boundlefs paflion wage, He pointed to the flairs that led below To damps, difeafe, and varied fliapes of woe — Down to the gloom w...e took our penfive way, Along the decks the dying captives lay ; Some ftruck with madnefs, fome with fcurvy pain'd.
But ftill of putrid fevers moft complain'd !
On the hard floors thefe wafted obje6ls laid.
There tofs'd and tumbled in the difmal fhade.
There no foft voice their bitter fate bemoan'd.
And death trode ftately, while the viftims groan'd ; Of leaky decks I heard them long complain, Drown'd as they were in deluges of rain, Deny'd the comforts of a dying bed.
And not a pillow to fupport the head How could they elfe but pine, and grieve, and figh, Deteft a wretched life — and wifh to die.
