YR YNYS UNYG;

OR,

THE LONELY ISLAND:

A NARRATIVE
FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE.

"Beseech you, be merry: we have cause
Of joy: for our escape
Is much beyond our loss: our hint of woe
Is common: every day, some sailor's wife,
The masters of some merchant, and the merchant
Have just our theme of woe: but for the miracle,
I mean our preservation, few in millions
Can speak like us: then wisely, good sir, weigh
Our sorrow with our comfort."—Tempest.
