That mann’d her deck, were seen, a straggling few,

Far scatter’d on the surges. Julio felt

The impulse of that hour, and low he knelt,

Within his own light bark—a pray’rful man!

And clasp’d his lifeless bride; and to her wan,

Cold cheek did lay his melancholy brow.⁠—

“Save thou a mariner!” he starteth now

To hear that dying cry; and there is one,

All worn and wave-wet, by his bark anon,

Clinging, in terror of the ireful sea,
