Or the death which it bears while it sweeps o'er the wave; Let our deck clear for action, our guns be prepared; Be the boarding-axe sharpened, the scimetar bared: Set the canisters ready, and then bring to me, For the last of my duties, the powder-room key. It shall never be lowered, the black flag we bear; If the sea be denied us, we sweep through the air. Unshared have we left our last victory's prey; It is mine to divide it, and yours to obey: There are shawls that might suit a sultana's white neck, And pearls that are fair as the arms they will deck; There are flasks which, unseal them, the air will disclose Diametta's fair summers, the home of the rose. I claim not a portion: I ask but as mines 'Tis to drink to our victory one cup of red wine. Some fight, 'tie for riches some fight, 'tie for fame: The first I despise, and the last is a name. I fight, 'tie for vengeance! I love to see flow, At the stroke of my sabre, the life of my foe. I strike for the memory of long-vanished prearm; I only shed blood where another shed tears. I come, as the lightning comes red from above, O'er the race that I loathe, to the battle I love.
