And thence rebound with bubbling hiss;
Their throats with sulph’rous vapor choked,
Their slimy length begrimed and smoked;
Each hideous skin as if ’twould burst,
By belching out the draught accurst;
All tortured and convulsed with rage,
To whom each moment seems an age—
Who vainly call “emancipation,”
To free them from that deep damnation,
Or else for swift annihilation!
