Not so! He thought of you with tender care.
Quoth he: "Heaven knows how fervently I prayed,
For wife and children when from Malta bound;—
The prayer hath heaven with favor crowned;

Its own reward our gallant action brought;
The captur'd prize was shared among the crew,
And of the treasure I received my due."
