Don Juan 04-090
Canto the Fourth
 
 XC
 
Here Raucocanti's eloquent recital
 Was interrupted by the pirate crew,
Who came at stated moments to invite all
 The captives back to their sad berths; each threw
A rueful glance upon the waves (which bright all
 From the blue skies derived a double blue,
Dancing all free and happy in the sun),
And then went down the hatchway one by one.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
