In all the Isles were armed men;

But in what place they did not ken.

Ev’ry wave threat’ning their last,

And shipt great seas, which o’er them past;

Yet kept above from sand and rock,

Till to morrow ’bout seven o’clock,

They made Rushness-point, on the long isle,

Call’d Benbecula in Gallic style,

Two hundred miles in eight hours space,

Past many a rock and dang’rous place,
