Thy friends, & all that's dear behind ;
before,
The rolling ocean opening to thy view
Vessels from far,with men of different
hue,
Hard-hearted, whom thou canst net
underhand,
And cometo bear thee to an unknown
land,
From whence thy foot shall nevermore
return,
But there, till death relieve thee, toil
and mourn.
The cordage rattles, and the canvass
flies ;
Chain'd to the floor, in deep distress
thou lies ;
Torn from thy babes, what anguifli
dost thou prove,
And HER, who footh'd thy troubles
with her love !
No more thy little ones (hall stroke
thy face,
Cling round thy neck, and court thy
fond embrace ;
Ah, thou must clasp thy heart's de
light no more,
Nor on her lip thy warm affection
pour.
Now ruminate,compare, dnd fee thou

Unfelt by him the tender pangs of love:

His country & relations have no part ;
And next, while drops of blood his
shoulders stain,
' His dying accents sure must reach thy

By turns he (peaks and lifts his lan
guid head,
Then finks for ever with the silent
dead.

Fronra pamphlet, entitled, "an ap
peal to England, on behalf of the
abused Africans."
And gape his wounds, the negro feels
not pain :
Then ffiow, of all whom breath and
being warm,
In loss of life the negro feels no harm.
This must be done, e'er thou coin raise
a plea
To wafle his life who never injur'd
thee.
Rear'd by indulgent ease in fragrant
bow'rs.
With skins as foft, and nerves as fine
as purs,
How can they bear incessant toil to
keep,
Frovifions scanty, and few hours for
sleep ?.
While still for home their broken
spirits sigh ;
Alas, they cannot bear it —fee they
die !
Mark'd thou that fable form in sor
row laid
On the hot sand, and fainting by his
spade?
Hear'd thou his sighs and mingl'd
moans depart ?
