 From the deck did the Captain go,

And brought this young man to his foe :

On him she fix'd her eyes so grim,

Which made him tremble every limb.

It was well known I was a maid,

When first by you I was betray’d,

I am a spirit come for you.

You beguil'd me once but I have you now.

For to preserve both ship and men,

Into the boat they forced him ;

The boat sunk in a flash of fire,

Which made the sailors all admire.

All you that know what to love belong,

Now you have heard my mournful song

Be true to one whatever you mind,

And don’t delude poor woman-kind

MARY’S DREAM.

THE morn had climb’d the highest hill,

which rises o’er the source of Dee,

And from the eastern summit shed,

her silver light on tow'r and tree ;

When Mary laid her down to sleep,

her thoughts on Sandy far at sea,

When soft and low a voice was heard,

says, 'Mary weep no more for me!'

She from her pillow, gently rais’d

her head, to ask who there might be?

She saw young Sandy shivering stand,

with pallid cheek and hollow eye ;
