What had been done in better times of old;
How they had conquer'd all opposed to them,
By force in part, in part by stratagem;
And as the tales inflamed the fiery crew,
What had been done they then prepared to do;
“'T is a last night!” they said—the angry blast
And roaring floods seem'd answering, “'T is a last!”
