William Cowper'Sweet Meat has Sour Sauce: or, the Slave Trader in the Dumps' (1788)A trader I am to the African shore, But since that my trading is like to be o'er, I'll sing you a song that you ne'er heard before,         Which nobody can deny, deny,         Which nobody can deny. When I first heard the news it gave me a shock, Much like what they call an electrical knock, And now I am going to sell off my stock,         Which nobody, &c. Tis a curious assortment of dainty regales, To tickle the Negroes with when the ship sails, Fine chains for the neck, and a cat with nine tails,         Which nobody, &c. Here's supple-jack plenty and store of rat-tan, That will wind itself round the sides of a man, As close as a hoop round a bucket or can,         Which nobody, &c. Here's padlocks and bolts, and screws for the thumbs, That squeeze them so lovingly till the blood comes, They sweeten the temper like comfits or plums,         Which nobody, &c. When a Negro his head from his victuals withdraws, And clenches his teeth and thrusts out his paws, Here's a notable engine to open his jaws,         Which nobody, &c. Thus going to market, we kindly prepare A pretty black cargo of African ware, For what they must meet with when they get there,         Which nobody, &c. 'Twould do your heart good to see 'em below, Lie flat on their backs all the way as we go, Like sprats on a gridiron, scores in a row,         Which nobody, &c. But ah! if in vain I have studied an art So gainful to me, all boasting apart, I think it will break my compassionate heart,         Which nobody, &c. For oh! how it enters my soul like an awl! This pity, which some people self-pity call, Is sure the most heart-piercing pity of all,         Which nobody, &c. So this is my song, as I told you before; Come, buy off my stock, for I must no more Carry Caesars and Pompeys to Sugar-cane shore,         Which nobody can deny, deny,         Which nobody can deny.

PoetryWilliam Cowper'The Negro’s Complaint' (1788)To the tune of 'Hosier's Ghost' or 'As near Porto Bello lying'. FORCED from home and all its pleasures         Afric's coast I left forlorn, To increase a stranger's treasures         O'er the raging billows borne. Men from England bought and sold me,         Paid my price in paltry gold; But, though slave they have enrolled me,         Minds are never to be sold. Still in thought as free as ever,         What are England's rights, I ask, Me from my delights to sever,         Me to torture, me to task ? Fleecy locks and black complexion         Cannot forfeit nature's claim; Skins may differ, but affection         Dwells in white and black the same. Why did all-creating nature         Make the plant for which we toil? Sighs must fan it, tears must water,         Sweat of ours must dress the soil. Think, ye masters iron-hearted,         Lolling at your jovial boards, Think how many backs have smarted         For the sweets your cane affords. Is there, as ye sometimes tell us,         Is there One who reigns on high? Has He bid you buy and sell us,         Speaking from his throne, the sky? Ask him, if your knotted scourges,         Matches, blood-extorting screws, Are the means that duty urges         Agents of his will to use? Hark! He answers!--Wild tornadoes         Strewing yonder sea with wrecks, Wasting towns, plantations, meadows,         Are the voice with which he speaks. He, foreseeing what vexations         Afric's sons should undergo, Fixed their tyrants' habitations         Where his whirlwinds answer--"No." By our blood in Afric wasted         Ere our necks received the chain;

By the miseries that we tasted,         Crossing in your barks the main; By our sufferings, since ye brought us         To the man-degrading mart, All sustained by patience, taught us         Only by a broken heart; Deem our nation brutes no longer,         Till some reason ye shall find Worthier of regard and stronger         Than the colour of our kind. Slaves of gold, whose sordid dealings         Tarnish all your boasted powers, Prove that you have human feelings,         Ere you proudly question ours!

Lesson Plan Idea:Read both poems in class and discuss comparisons and differences.
