Chapter 12 -The Cruise o the Firebrand

Shewing, amongst other pleasant matters well worthy of being

recorded, how Thomas communed with his two Consciences.

"Oh, who can tell, save he whose heart hath tried,

And danced in triumph o'er the waters wide,

The exulting sense, the pulse's maddening play,

That thrills the wanderer of that trackless way?"

Byron, The Corsair, 1.
