As my new patron, or master, had taken me home to his house, so I was in hopes that he would take me with him when he went to sea again, believing that it would some time or other be his fate to be taken by a Spanish or Portugal man-of-war; and that then I should be set at liberty.
Amikor új patrónusom vagy gazdám magával vitt a házába, abban reménykedtem, éppígy vele tarthatok, ha újra tengerre száll, remélve, hogy előbb-utóbb spanyol vagy portugál harcosok legyőzik majd, és akkor visszanyerhetem szabadságomat.
