English poem
Captain
by James Miller (1860–1947)
Come! fire the gate, And smoke these vermin out! [The Soldiers’ fire the Gate, while the Flanders Merchants spring a Mine, which blows up the Tower, and scatters destruction in every direction.—The Soldiers run. Ha! there they go, Like rockets to the skies! Let’s save ourselves. [Exeunt.
Enter an OLD MAN with his DAUGHTER.
