by Unknown

Not in glorious battle slain.

Hence with all my train attending

From their oozy tombs below,

Through the hoary foam ascending,

Here I feed my constant woe.

Here the Bastimentos viewing,

We recal our shameful doom,

And our plaintive cries renewing,

Wander through the midnight gloom.

O’er these waves for ever mourning,
