Excerpt from Ringwood the Rover: A Tale of Florida

My child - great God - my child! Cried Juan de Melendez, his pale features writhing with hor rible intensity of anguish Would, would that thou wert dead, Teresa And is all lost - is all lost, gentlemen Shake not your heads, look not so gloomily upon me; can ye devise no scheme, no hope, no possibility - and yet~how should ye, when we have neither boat, nor even store enough of pirogues in the bay, to hear them any succor? Oh! Would, would Heaven, that I had died, I care not how disgracefully, so that I were but dead, ere I had been so fettered here, to look thus help less on the murder of my comrades - the worse than murder of mine innocent and lovely child! And, thou, Don Amadis, thou who hast dared to lift. The eyes of love to her - canst thou stand sta tuelike and mute, and strike no blow for her? Canst thou endure almost-to hear the shrieks, al most to look upon the form, of her thou wouldst have wedded, writhing in agony in the foul arms of the licentious buccaneer! A man! A gentle man! Ha! Ha! A soldier - ha! Ha! Ha! A man, a gentleman, a soldier, and an old Castilian look tamely on the violation of his bride, before the very eyes of her insulted father!
