In he goes! with a frightful shout

Mock'd by the rugged ruffianly band,

As round the Furnace mouth they stand,

Bar, and shovel, and ladle in hand,

To hinder their Butt from crawling out,

Who making one fierce attempt, but vain,

Receives such a blow

From Red-Beard's crow

As crashes the skull and gashes the brain,

And blind, and dizzy, and stunn'd with pain,
