Thus dress'd into the Field I nex[t] must go,
Amongst tobacco plants all day to hoe,
At day break in the morn our work began,
And so held to the setting of the Sun.
My fellow slaves were just five Transports more,
With eighteen Negroes,which is twenty four ...
We and the Negroes both alike did fare,
Of work and food we had an equal share...."
