[THERE are who, corkless, may defy]
THERE are who, corkless, may defy
Old Ocean's wildest roar:
The scoundrel, doom'd by hemp to die,
From shipwreck floats ashore.
Old Ocean's wildest roar:
The scoundrel, doom'd by hemp to die,
From shipwreck floats ashore.
So Boney (to his fate in pawn)
May safe reach Britain's strand,
By destiny's strong cable drawn;
But 'tis—to die on land.
May safe reach Britain's strand,
By destiny's strong cable drawn;
But 'tis—to die on land.
