Not daring to approach their wounded foe,
Whom her courageous fen protected fo,
They charge their mufquets, and, with hot defire

For the loud engines which their ifle defend;

But what thofe pieces, fram'd to batter walls,

Would have effected on thofe mighty whales,

And thus they parted with exchange of harms; Much blood the monsters loft, and they their arms. 90
