When one so wicked would her hand possess,
And he a brother!—that was his distress, 250
And must be hers——She heard him, and she sigh’d,
Looking in doubt—but nothing she replied.
There was a generous feeling in her mind,
That told her this was neither good nor kind.
James caused her terror, but he did no more—
Her love was now as it had been before.
Their traffic fail’d—and the adventurous crew
No more their profitless attempts renew.
