Sliivll bafile thee : out, out, thou monster shape — Die in thy lading age — the element That hath no kin to thee, hut beareth liate, Now by its ruler is let loose on thee !
O'er the low timbers that alone are left By thy blind fury, creep tlie waters now With power to crush thee ! Come they thicker now- A wave, a surging sea — ah ! hiss again !
Die like all serpents, while thy breath flies forth In the quick flame, as soon extinguished.
Yes, the proud Monaech hatli to kill the foe Yielded hers...elf to death. Oh ! bravely there Lifting on high her bow, her crowned head Rose to command the wave that at her stern, Fled to the inlets, pouring o'er the side. In a quick deluge ran they, driving all Intruding enemies from her they held Their ruler until now, then silently In the quick work they sped ; wlieu all were gone. Fire, flame, smoke, and spark, an instant then She rode in Majesty triumphant, when Slowly she sank into her native deep, THE OCEAN MONARCH. 75' Swift o'er the spot the gathering billows sweep, Heave for an instant, sinking then again And all was still upon the spreading main ; Nought was there left of what before had been, But blacken 'd timbers scatter'd o'er the scene, With a few floating spars, these all now there To mark the place of interment, or where The MoNAECH that had reign'd, and bravely too, O'er sea and billow, with her gallant crew, Had sought in death the shelter of the wave; — She lies entombed in her own ocean grave.
