And burn them as a sacrifice to Him

Who gives him power o'er Nature: next he limns

With silver wand upon the smooth firm beach

A mimic ship—look out, where ocean's verge

Meets the blue sky, a whitening speck is seen,

That nears and nears—her canvass spreads to heav'n;

Fair blows the wind, and roaring through the waves,

On comes the Demon ship, in which he sails

To farthest Ind—but this adventure needs

A sacrifice more potent—human marrow
