I hear secret convulsive sobs from young men at anguish with
themselves, remorseful after deeds done,
I see in low life the mother misused by her children, dying,
neglected, gaunt, desperate,
I see the wife misused by her husband-- I see the treacherous seducer
of young women,
I mark the ranklings of jealousy and unrequited love attempted to be
hid-- I see these sights on the earth,
I see the workings of battle, pestilence, tyranny-- I see martyrs and
prisoners,
I observe a famine at sea-- I observe the sailors casting lots who
shall be kill'd to preserve the lives of the rest,
I observe the slights and degradations cast by arrogant persons upon
laborers, the poor, and upon negroes, and the like;
