Answer:

Sir Ralph was a pirate who planned on becoming rich at the cost of others misfortune.

Explanation:

• The poem is titled "The Inchcape Rock." Robert Southey is the poet's full name.

• The poem speaks of a folklore. A monk placed a bell on the shore of Inchcape to alert mariners to oncoming peril during storms.
• Whenever the bell rang, the sailors reportedly used to thank the Abbot for protecting them from harm.
• The bell at the Abbot of Aberbrothok hung to the rock shakes fiercely when the waves violently hit it during a storm, generating a loud sound that mariners can hear from a great distance. The Inchcape Rock then suddenly comes to their attention. As a result, the sailors steer clear of that area.

• An infamous pirate named Sir Ralph did not want ships to be alarmed by the sound of the Inchcape Bell. From the ships that perished in the rock collision, he hoped to gain wealth and valuables. He also intended to harm the Aberbrothok Abbot's standing. So, he sailed to Inchcape Rock and cut the renowned bell that was tied there.
• Sir Ralph had been lost in far-off seas for a very long time. He has been pillaging and robbing numerous ships. He accrued a significant amount of fortune in this manner and became wealthy and successful.
