An account of the gallies, and the galley slaves in Italy. .

who] seem, nevertheless, quite insensible of their misery;
like so many convicts in Newgate, they laugh and sing, and
swear, and get drunk whenever they can. When you enter by
the stern, you are welcomed by a band of musick selected
from the slaves; and these expect a gratification. If you
walk forwards, you must take care of your pockets. . .
