Chapter 65 SOLDIER AND SAILOR

I love contemplating, apart

From all his homicidal glory,

The traits that soften to our heart

Napoleon's story!

'Twas when his banners at Boulogne

Armed in our island every freeman,

His navy chanced to capture one

Poor British seaman.

They suffered him, I know not how,

Unprisoned on the shore to roam;

And aye was bent

Between the Lines.
