thrill it with affright

thrill it with affright;
To these I now consign them
42
Quick
thrust them out to sea
And through a life of torture
May they repentant be.
Thus Roberval
the Viceroy
Thundered his fierce commands
As Leon
Marguerite's husband
Burst from his iron bands
Plunged headlong in the wild flood
And toward the threatening shore
Swam boldly forth'--defiant
Of him and ocean's roar.
The swimmer and the boat's crew
Long fought for life and breath
And all appeared together
Entering the jaws of death
As Roberval steered from them
Outbreathing curses loud
And imprecations furious
That stout hearts chilled and cowed.
The ship receded--vanished
Leaving the wave-tossed three
All valiantly contending
With the belated sea.
The swimmer battled fiercely
With ocean's maddening strife
As the frail women bravely
Contended for dear life.
Till haply
thanks to heaven
They're saved
for see
they stand
Linked heart and hand together
