V

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?
