...t below the bitter snow,
Uncomforted.
A leaf's a life, and one by one

Are frailing fast away . . .
How sadly soon will mourn the moon
My dark decay!...Read more of this...

...spoon-fashion there;
that some went mad of thirst and tore their flesh
and sucked the blood:
"That Crew and Captain lusted with the comeliest
of the savage girls kept naked in the cabins;
that there was one they called The Guinea Rose
and they cast lots and fought to lie with her:
"That when the Bo's'n piped all hands, the flames
spreading from starboard already were beyond
