II.

First take thy Hapless Way

Along the Rocky Northern Shore,

Infamous for the Matchless Store

Of Wracks within that Bay.

None o're the Cursed Beach e're crost,

Unless the Robb'd, the Wrack'd, or Lost

Where on the Strand lye spread,

The Sculls of many Dead.

Their mingl'd Bones,

Among the Stones,

Thy Wretched Feet must tread.
