There, pains which nature could no more support,
With blindness linked, did on my vitals fall;
Dizzy my brain, with

Of hideous sense; I sunk, nor step could crawl,
And thence was borne away to neighbouring hospital.

How it woke one April morn,
Fame shall tell;
As from Moultrie, close at hand,
And the
batteries
on the land,
Round its faint but fearless band
Shot and shell
Raining hid the doubtful light;
But they fought the hopeless fight
Long and well,
(Theirs the glory, ours the shame!

Corneille - Le Cid |
|
the tyrant whom I sing, descried
Ere long his error, that, till then, his dart
Not yet beneath the gown had pierced my heart,
And brought a
puissant
lady as his guide,
'Gainst whom of small or no avail has been
Genius, or force, to strive or supplicate.

The
helmsman
steerd, the ship mov'd on;
Yet never a breeze up-blew;
The Marineres all 'gan work the ropes,
Where they were wont to do:
They rais'd their limbs like lifeless tools--
We were a ghastly crew.
