Wow, it’s genuinely awful. Never read the entire original poem, but that’s disgusting, Key should have quit while he was ahead with the first verse.

Looking it up- holy shit, you're right. And naturally the author was a slave-owner, an anti-abolitionist lawyer, and noted racist, which isn't particularly surprising when one reads the third verse onwards
