XCVI.

Himself, and much (Heaven knows how gotten!) cash,
He then embark'd, with risk of life and limb
And got clear off, although the attempt was rash;
He said that Providence protected him ?
For my part, I say nothing - lest we clash
In our opinions: - well, the ship was trim,
Set sail, and kept her reckoning fairly on,
Except three days of calm when off Cape Bonn.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
