Sivu 120 - Wilt thou upon the high and giddy mast Seal up the ship-boy's eyes, and rock his brains In cradle of the rude imperious surge ; And in the visitation of the winds, Who take the ruffian billows by the top, Curling their monstrous heads, and hanging them With deafning clamours in the slippery clouds, That, with the hurly, death itself awakes ? Canst thou, O partial sleep!
Sivu 120 - With deafning clamours in the slippery clouds, That, with the hurly," death itself awakes ? Can'st thou, O partial sleep ! give thy repose To the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude ; And in the calmest and most stillest night, With all appliances and means to boot, Deny it to a king? Then, happy low, lie down ! Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.
Sivu 148 - Marking the embarked traders on the flood; When we have laugh'd to see the sails conceive And grow big-bellied with the wanton wind ; Which she, with pretty and with swimming gait Following,— her womb then rich with my young squire,— Would imitate, and sail upon the land, To fetch me trifles, and return again, As from a voyage, rich with merchandise.
Sivu 39 - And white with foam the whirling billows fly. The guns were primed ; the vessel northward veers, Till her black battery on the column bears : The nitre fired ; and, while the dreadful sound Convulsive shook the slumbering air around, The watery volume, trembling to the sky, Burst down, a dreadful deluge, from on high ! The expanding ocean trembled as it fell, And felt with swift recoil her surges swell; But soon, this transient undulation o'er, The sea subsides, the whirlwinds rage no more.
Sivu 99 - The vessel, while the dread event draws nigh, Seems more impatient o'er the waves to fly ; Fate spurs her on ! — Thus, issuing from afar. Advances to the sun some blazing star, And, as it feels attraction's kindling force. Springs onward with accelerated course.
Sivu 20 - Desire, that with perpetual current flows ; The fluctuating pangs of hope and fear, Joy distant still, and sorrow ever near. Thus, while the pangs of thought severer grew, The western breezes inauspicious blew, Hastening the moment of our last adieu. The vessel parted on the falling tide, Yet time one sacred hour to love...
Sivu 40 - When orient dews impearl the enamell'd lawn ; Than from his sides in bright suffusion flow, That now with gold empyreal seem to glow ; Now in pellucid sapphires meet the view, And emulate the soft celestial hue ; Now beam a flaming crimson on the eye, And now assume the purple's deeper dye...
Sivu 93 - High o'er the poop the audacious seas aspire, Uprolled in hills of fluctuating fire; With labouring throes she rolls on either side, And dips her gunnels in the yawning tide ; Her joints unhinged in palsied languors play, As ice-flakes part beneath the noon-tide ray : The gale howls doleful through the blocks and shrouds, And big rain pours a deluge from the clouds ; From wintry magazines that sweep the sky, Descending globes of hail impetuous fly ; High on the masts, with pale and livid rays, Amid...
Sivu 38 - Tall Ida's summit now more distant grew, And Jove's high hill was rising to the view : When on the larboard quarter they descry A liquid column towering shoot on high ; The foaming base the angry whirlwinds sweep, Where curling billows rouse the fearful deep : Still round, and round, the fluid vortex flies, Diffusing briny vapours o'er the skies. This vast phenomenon, whose lofty head...
Sivu 53 - Though their firm hearts no pageant honour boast, They scorn the wretch that trembles at his post; Who from the face of danger strives to turn, Indignant from the social hour they spurn; Though now full oft they felt the raging tide In proud rebellion climb the vessel's side...
