Never pray more; abandon all remorse;
On horrors head horrors accumulate;
Do deeds to make heaven weep, all earth amazed;
For nothing canst thou to damnation add
Greater than that.”

With his name painted clearly on each:
But, since he omitted to mention the fact,
They were all left behind on the beach.”
