Putnam, an Aid-dc-Camp to Msjor-Oeneral Putnam, as was tbe authtr.
198 LETTER TO A YOUNG LADY.
No vagrant wights, or true knights-errant, E'er saw such perils, I dare warrant ; Not Homer's hero fac'd such dangers, By land or sea, with friends or strangers; Not Bunyan's pilgrim found such pond, Quite badly wet in Slough Despond ; Nor Satan, in his various way, was So plagued (as Milton sings) in chaos; Nor ev'n the son of old Anchises Was brought to such a fatal crisis, No Charon here, we found ...to ferry us Over a villain lake, like Erebus.
The dismal vale we now 'gan enter, And down we plung'd towards the centre- Above mid-sides the horses slump in, Nor stir a step, except by jumping Again they plunge and here full sadly For our poor driver, honest Bradley, The pole snapp'd short then quickly falling, It went down, with the horses, all in The worst of scrapes to make the best on, And raise the pole, was now the question Bradley (hence nam'd the lion-hearted) His utmost skill and strength exerted: While poles we placed across the slough, And got it out the Lord knows how, Then, many a fruitless effort tried, We reach'd, half drown'd, the other side.
