Her and her children, let her plead in vain;
So grieving held his will, and bore it thro.’
For Enoch parted with his old sea-friend,
Bought Annie goods and stores, and set his hand
To fit their little streetward sitting-room 170
With shelf and corner for the goods and stores.
So all day long till Enoch’s last at home,
Shaking their pretty cabin, hammer and axe,
Auger and saw, while Annie seem’d to hear
Her own death-scaffold raising, shrill’d and rang 175
