When, brief and sudden notice given, Death grasps his prey, and life is riven ; 'Tis then the valiant face the blow — 'Tis then the coward grovels low — 'Tis then we see true courage shine — Then mark the force of discipline — All calm and cool the steady band Firm at their quarters take their stand, No hearts were there to flinch : Inspired by those with whom they served, Nerved by a courage such as nerved A Chesney, and a Lynch. Brave Lynch, who did not then forget He owed stern duty still on...e debt, >a 1 . MSBSBm \$ td CANTO II. ] THE LOSS OF THE TIGRIS. 25 When human skill could naught avail, And the fiei'ce fury of the gale Might crush all power of thinking — Vessel and crew the wild waves' sport ! — Still bore in mind he should report The fated ship was sinking. Right gallant spirits those — and high — Which thus at the door of death comply With discipline's formality — Bv his commander's side he stood, With him to live, or perish in the flood.
Then passed the word " to save :" And now dispersed each warrior crowds Where'er he lists, in tops or shrouds, To shun a watery grave : And they upon the after-deck Wait their fate in the sinking wreck, Which labours in the desperate strife As though it were " a thing of life ;" And as the billows o'er it fly, Trembles and strains convulsively, And heavily from side to side Rolls deep, as if it vainly tried Thus to disgorge the whelming tide.
