Were gathered there for vengeance and I knew
That if I dipped my hand the spawn would clutch it....Read more of this...

would never understand
our seamen's talk and ways.
I got right down and kissed her hand,
and making like a poet, I cried:

in spots of light at the unruffled night. Twinkle, jab,
snap, that means
a new play; and over the way: plop, drop, quiver, is
