To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On their wrists are the marks of the felon's gyves, And the}'- gamble for naught but human lives.
Here a group of wantons whisper low Plotting a pure soul's overthrow; Here \hty mock The Christ on bended knee.
With ribald jests of blasphemy; Here the crimes of the world in sequence pass, As flitting shades in a looking-glass, And the shuddering soul of each sailor hath seen What his actions were, or might have been!
With horror o'erwrought at this vision of sin, The bravest have loaded a culver...in, And now with a roar through the startled air Canister, grape and chain-shot tear Full at life's foes, but no ship is there!
Like a mirage has vanished her gruesome form, And in its wake strides on the storm.
THE TYPHOON 155 As when the winds in some profound ravine Give battle for the kingdoms of the air, And in a furious whirlwind intertwine Their giant energies in death's despair, So to this vortex of the deep converge The storm's wild hosts. Now the masts from the decks of oak Are torn, and hurled like feathers in the seething surge; The barque and all therein, at one fell stroke, Are overwhelmed.
