Sic a reptile was Wat, sic a miscreant slave,
 That the worms ev'n damn'd him when laid in his grave;
 "In his flesh there's a famine," a starved reptile cries,
 "And his heart is rank poison!" another replies.

 Пред тем, как предать капитана могиле,
 Друзья бальзамировать сердце решили.
 - Нет, - молвил прохожий, - он так ядовит,
 Что даже червяк от него убежит!
