385 Surprise to all, but most surprise To Benjamin, who rubs his eyes, Not knowing that he had befriended A Man so gloriously attended! URPRISE TO ALL BUT MOST SURPRISED TO BENJAMIN WHO RUBS HIS EYES NOT KNOWING THAT HE HAD BEFRIENDED A MAN SO GLORIOUSLY ATTENDED
; All care with Benjamin is gone-- A CÃ¦sar past the Rubicon! He thinks not of his long, long strife;-- The Sailor, Man by nature gay, 360 Hath no resolves to throw away; [41] And he hath now forgot his Wife, Hath quite forgotten her--or may be Thinks her the luckiest soul on earth, Within that warm and peaceful berth, [42] 365 Under cover, Terror over, Sleeping by her sleeping Baby. With bowl that sped from hand to hand, The gladdest of the gladsome band, 370 Amid their own delight and fun, [43] They hear--when every dance is done, When every whirling bout is o'er--[44] The fiddle's _squeak_ [G]--that call to bliss, Ever followed by a kiss; 375 They envy not the happy lot, But enjoy their own the more! While thus our jocund Travellers fare, Up springs the Sailor from his chair-- Limps (for I might have told before 380 That he was lame) across the floor-- Is gone--returns--and with a prize; With what?--a Ship of lusty size; A gallant stately Man-of-war, Fixed on a smoothly-sliding car. SHOWS PROOF OF THIS FOR SOON OF ALL THE HAPPY THERE OUR TRAVELLERS ARE THE HAPPIEST PAIR ALL CARE WITH BENJAMIN IS GONE A CAESAR PAST THE RUBICON HE THINKS NOT OF HIS LONG LONG STRIFE THE SAILOR MAN BY NATURE GAY HATH NO RESOLVES TO THROW AWAY AND HE HATH NOW FORGOT HIS WIFE HATH QUITE FORGOTTEN HER OR MAYBE THINKS HER THE LUCKIEST SOUL ON EARTH WITHIN THAT WARM AND PEACEFUL BERTH UNDER COVER TERROR OVER SLEEPING BY HER SLEEPING BABY WITH BOWL THAT SPED FROM HAND TO HAND THE GLADDEST OF THE GLADSOME BAND AMID THEIR OWN DELIGHT AND FUN THEY HEAR WHEN EVERY DANCE IS DONE WHEN EVERY WHIRLING BOUT IS O'ER THE FIDDLES SQUEAK THAT CALL TO BLISS EVER FOLLOWED BY A KISS THEY ENVY NOT THE HAPPY LOT BUT ENJOY THEIR OWN THE MORE WHILE THUS OUR JOCUND TRAVELLER'S FAIR UPSPRINGS THE SAILOR FROM HIS CHAIR LIMPS FOR I MIGHT HAVE TOLD YOU BEFORE THAT HE WAS LAME ACROSS THE FLOOR IS GONE RETURNS AND WITH A PRIZE WITH WHAT A SHIP OF LUSTY SIZE A GALLANT STATELY MAN OF WAR FIX'D ON A SMOOTHLY SLIDING CAR
