To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Says the captain, says he (I shall never forget it), " If of courage you'd know, lads, the true from the sham, ''Tis a furious lion in battle, so let it, But, duty appeased, 'tis in mercy a lamb. " There was bustling Bob Bounce, for the old one not caring, Helter skelter, to work, pelt away, cut and drive ; Swearing he, for his part, had no notion of sparing, And as for a foe, why he'd eat him alive. But when that he found an old prisoner he'd wounded, That once saved his life as near drowning ...he swam, The lion was tamed, and, with pity confounded, He cried over him just all as one as a lamb.
That my friend Jack or Tom I should rescue from danger, Or lay my life down for each lad in the mess, Is nothing at all, 'tis the poor wounded stranger, And the poorer the more I shall succour distress : For however their duty bold tars may delight in, And peril defy, as a bugbear, a flam, Though the lion may feel surly pleasure in fighting, He'll feel more by compassion when turn'd to a lamb.
129 The heart and the eyes, you see, feel the same motion, And if both shed their drops, 'tis all to the same end ; And thus 'tis that every tight lad of the ocean Sheds his blood for his country, his tears for his friend.
