SONG, Mr. Bannister.
I.
When 'tis night and the mid-watch is come, 
And chilling mists hang o'er the darken'd main, 
Then sailors think of their far distant home, 
And of the friends they ne'er may see again;

SONG of Mr. Vernon.
I.
Cheerly my hearts, of courage true, 
The hour's at hand to try your worth, 
A glorious peril waits for you, 
And valour pants to lead you forth;
. . . [23 more lines]
