When we had gone about ten Miles, one of our Company tir'd, being not able to travel any farther; so we went forward, leaving the poor dejected Traveller with Tears in his Eyes, to return to Charles-Town, and travel back again over so much bad Way, we having pass'd thro' the worst of our Journey, the Land here being high and dry, very few Swamps, and those dry, and a little Way through.
Soon we were between lines of building once more, shops, private dwellings and warehouses intermix'd; then pass'd a tall church; and in about two minutes more drew up again. I look'd out. Facing me was a narrow gateway leading to a house that stood somewhat back from the street, as if slipping away from between the lines of shops that wedg'd it in on either hand. Over the grill a link was burning.
In consequence of this information we, at 6 a.m., weigh'd and run down to it, first sending 2 Boats ahead to lay upon the Shoals that lay in our way; and notwithstanding this precaution, we were once in 3 fathoms with the Ship. Having pass'd these Shoals, the Boats were sent to lay in the Channell leading into the Harbour.
Maybe one time you find medicine. Maybe one time my Snake find." I went away, smiling sadly. 'T would need strong medicine to heal me and Shooba! Now Time pass'd, and they fell to planning for Freeman's Ball. 'T was to be a Grand affair, and there was Talk of my Aunt's Frock, and wearing of the Hynds Jewells. And Richard's Wife was to be Allow'd to wear the Queen's Emerald.
"Am glad she's gone," said Joan shortly: "How many rebels pass'd this way, Jack?" "Five, counting one that lies gagg'd and bound, down at the cottage." "That leaves four:" she stretch'd herself on the ground with a sigh "four that'll never trouble thee more, lad." "Why? how " "Listen, lad: sit down an' let me rest my head 'pon thy knee. Oh, Jack, I did it bravely!
Even while you wept there by your fallen harp by the grave, What you wept for was translated, pass'd from the grave, The winds favor'd and the sea sail'd it, And now with rosy and new blood, Moves to-day in a new country." Or take these lines from "Children of Adam:"
He led the way, and the old man followed for some time in silence. 'Tis when the wound is stiffening with the cold. The warrior first feels pain 'tis when the heat And fiery fever of his soul is pass'd, The sinner feels remorse.
We live here from year to year, and at the end of one we find ourselves at about the same place which we filled in the beginning." "Can you relate nothing, then?" rejoin'd the guest, and a singular smile pass'd over his features; "can you say nothing about your own place? this house or its former inhabitants, or former history?"
However, a few minutes before ringing-up time he made his appearance in lively condition. Though fifty years have pass'd since then, I can hear the clank, and feel the perfect following hush of perhaps three thousand people waiting. "Now is the winter of our discontent," to the closing death fight with Richmond, were of the finest and grandest.
Fierce o'er the wreck the whelming waters pass'd, The helpless crew sunk in the roaring main! Henry's faint accents trembled in the blast 'Farewel, my love! we ne'er shall meet again! Oft, at the calm and silent evening hour, When summer-breezes linger on the wave, A melancholy voice is heard to pour Its lonely sweetness o'er poor Henry's grave!
