THE
NAVAL OFFICER;
OR,
SCENES AND ADVENTURES
IN THE
LIFE OF FRANK MILDMAY.
My Muse by no means deals in fiction:
She gathers a repertory of facts,
Of course with some reserve and slight restriction,
But mostly treats of human things and acts.
****
Love, war, a tempest—surely there’s variety;
Also a seasoning slight of lucubration;
A bird’s-eye view, too, of that wild, society;
A slight glance thrown on men of every station.
Don Juan.
