Էջ 31 - ... league we've made ? Omr. (turning round, and rushing forward, ) Come with his bride ? — what here, In Dominica ? — This was what I pray'd for ! — In person ! — But shall I be sure of him ? Shall I be sure, that when I have him down, No white allies shall interpose betwixt Me and my prize, — to enforce for one another That civilized, that Christian law of mercy, Our dusky children never yet partook ?
