For the Smith, hight Salamander,

In the jargon of some Titanic tongue,

Elsewhere never said or sung,

With the voice of a Stentor in joke has flung

Some cumbrous sort

Of sledge-hammer retort

At Red Beard, the crew's commander.

Some frightful jest—who knows how wild,

Or obscene, from a monster so defiled,

And a horrible mouth, of such extent,
