Should e'er, gallant Knight; my fidelity fail, Or my honour a stain ever know, I hope that grim Biiress, who rides on a gale, 'And Neptune, astride en the hack of a whale, May hurl me to Pluto below.

And now to Niagara hastened the pair, The revelry there had begun— The tables they groaned under true fankee fare, Of Pumpliimatit•Vork, every , man eat his share, When the bells,oa board ships.tinkled one. , Then first with amazement the Lady observed, An Indian stood up.aAt.the deck; He looked as if long in had weather he'd served ; Hii soul seemed all gloom, and his body unnerved, • He squinted, and .bent was his neck—. . With feathers and scalps was his person bedeck'd, His hands, they were clay cold and danip ; At this sight was all pleasure and gaiety clieck'd : All the ships in the port were already half wreck'd, And blue burnt each binnacle lamp— The lady, though trembling, then handed a chair, Begg'cl he'd sit, just his strength to renew, !Int all! who can can judge bow profound' her despair, WhAti thu feathers dew off; and 411 present declare, 'Twas the Prephersgrins ghost stood in view ! • The sailors and soldiers that dwelt in the place, With fear and with horror all shake; Tee worms slipt to earth and snails mended their pace, While fleas and muskitoes stood fixed on his face, As he cried—List thou Lass of the Lake !! Behold me, thou false one; and bear my dread tale-- To the Knight oh ! remember thy vows, Since thou to preserve thy bright hottour didit fail, Grim Boreas is cause on his charger the Gale, And old dathly'Neptune astride on a shale! To take thee to l!lt.n,n blow— Thus saying he look e d all around him aghast ! - While vainly her face she would screen— Then Boreakso 144, blew a terrible blast, While Neptune his net for the fair lady cast— And she sunk never more to be seen !
