At Spithead they embark’d us, how precious a cargo!

And we sail’d before day to escape the embargo.

There was Shuckborough,[[296]] the wonderful mathematician;

And Darwin, the poet, the sage, and physician;

There was Beddoes, and Bruin, and Godwin, whose trust is,

He may part with his work on Political Justice

To some Iman or Bonze, or Judaical Rabbin;

So with huge quarto volumes he piles up the cabin.

There was great Dr. Parr whom we style Bellendenus,

The Doctor and I have a hammock between us.
