Both men and women here were sold, Without excepting young or old ; Such sales occur so frequent here. Quite unconcern'd all did appear. Instead of sin they count it good, To traffic so in human blood; !More than a hundred there were sold, A scene that shock'd me to behold. These forra'd a part of an estate Of Mr. Graham, who died of late; A wealthy Scotchman, it is said, He gain'd it by the negro trade. The way they're sold I'll let you hear, ' — A platform on the street they rear, When, by th...e auctioneer's command. The slave for sale upon it stand. He's there exposed {o public view, The crier tells what he can do ; His age, his health, his soundness told, Like horse, or cow, by auction sold. The value of a negro stout Is ninety pounds or thereabouts ; p 170 Females whom batchelor's admire, May sometimes sell a little higlier. Two children and their mother were Sold for an hundred guineas here; The salesman thought them far too low, He seem'd quite loath to let them go. Mulatto girls, tall and neat, W ill sell at prices very great ; 'Tis said a Lord, for one that's handsome, Will sometimes pay a thousand ransom.
