“Then let us strip these savage slain,
And sink their bodies in the main;
And pass the whole with answer brief,
As enterprise of robber chief—
A trivial thing, of no regard,
Unsuiting honours or reward.”—
Each gallant thought as Haco did,
Although his motives still were hid.
And sink their bodies in the main;
And pass the whole with answer brief,
As enterprise of robber chief—
A trivial thing, of no regard,
Unsuiting honours or reward.”—
Each gallant thought as Haco did,
Although his motives still were hid.
