Don Juan 02-029
Canto the Second

XXIX

Into the opening; but all such ingredients
     Would have been vain, and they must have gone down,
Despite of all their efforts and expedients,
     But for the pumps: I'm glad to make them known
To all the brother tars who may have need hence,
     For fifty tons of water were upthrown
By them per hour, and they had all been undone,
But for the maker, Mr. Mann, of London.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824) ByronLong
