There is also a serious imitation of Cowper’s “Alexander Selkirk;” it is entitled:
Lines
Supposed to have been written by Robinson Crusoe
on the acquisition of Friday.
I have stood on the brink of the grave:
Savage feet have imprinted the sand;
But an arm that was mighty to save,
Has saved in this terrible land.
