The drowned dead gather
To form the Fathomking's court;
I will not join them.
17
Mount Palmerston growls,
And billows sulphurous clouds;
I hear damned souls cry.
18
One sister gives strength;
Two fills the house with laughter;
Three brings fiery death.
19
Day twenty-one brings
The meat lottery anew;
I draw the shortest.
20
No ship sails over
The far eastern horizon;
There is nothing there.
