I'm not a native speaker but I'd say that "thee" means "you" and "o' th'" means "of the". Definition of "brine pit": "a salt spring or well, from which water is taken to be boiled or evaporated for making salt."

Hi Tonatiuh,
This text is in an antiquated (old) form of English.
In this case, "thee" means "you".
"o'th'isle" means "of the island".
A "brine pit" is a kind of salt spring in the ground
(here is a picture of one: https://geomodel.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/UnlinedBrinePit.jpg).
Hope this helps!
