“Famine, despair, cold, thirst, and heat had done
Their work on them by turns, and thinn’d them to
Such things a mother had not known her son
Amidst the skeletons of that gaunt crew.”
Don Juan, Canto ii. 102.
[2] “In a little time I and my family and friends came to a right understanding: but my wife protested ‘I should never go to sea any more;’ although my evil destiny so ordered, that she had not the power to hinder me.”
