Seite 259 - ... impatient spirit feeds, And shouts and curses as the battle bleeds. Struck through the brain, deprived of both his eyes, The vanquished bird must combat till he dies ; Must faintly peck at his victorious foe. And reel and stagger at each feeble blow : When fallen, the savage grasps his dabbled plumes, His blood-stained arms, for other deaths assumes ; And damns the craven fowl, that lost his stake, And only bled and perished for his sake.
Seite 117 - ... a privateer, I should have been entitled to clothing and maintenance during the rest of my life : but that was not my chance ; one man is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and another with a wooden ladle. However, blessed be God, I enjoy good health ; and have no enemy in this world, that I know of, but the French, and the justice of peace.
