Don Juan 03-015
Canto the Third

     XV
The good old gentleman had been detain'd
     By winds and waves, and some important captures;
And, in the hope of more, at sea remain'd,
     Although a squall or two had damp'd his raptures,
By swamping one of the prizes; he had chain'd
     His prisoners, dividing them like chapters
In number'd lots; they all had cuffs and collars,
And averaged each from ten to a hundred dollars.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
