slave has found
Rest after all his wanderings,
For it is British ground!

V

V is the Vessel, in whose dark,
Noisome, and stifling hold,
Hundreds of Africans are packed,
Brought o'er the seas, and sold.

W

W is the Whipping post,
To which the slave is bound,
While on his naked back, the lash
Makes many a bleeding wound.

X

X is for Xerxes, famed of yore;
A warrior stern was he
_He_ fought with swords; let truth and love
_Our_ only weapons be.

Y

Y is for Youth--the time for all
Bravely to war with sin;
And think not it can ever be
Too early to begin.

Z

Z is a Zealous man, sincere,
Faithful, and just, and true;
An earnest pleader for the slave--
Will you not be so too?
