Seite 14 - And furl your sails : the winds repel the sound, And in the speaker's mouth the speech is drown'd. Yet of their own accord, as danger taught Each in his way, officiously they wrought; Some stow their oars, or stop the leaky sides, Another bolder, yet the yard bestrides, And folds the sails; a fourth with labour laves Th' intruding seas, and waves ejects on waves.
Seite 15 - And when the fouler bottom spews the black, The Stygian dye the tainted waters take ; Then frothy white appear the flatted seas, And change their colour, changing their disease.
Seite 14 - The' intruding seas, and waves ejects on waves. In this confusion while their work they ply, The winds augment the winter of the sky, And wage intestine wars; the suffering seas Are toss'd and mingled as their tyrants please.

Seite 19 - Ev'n he who late a fceptre did command Now grafps a floating fragment in his hand, And while he ftruggles on the ftormy main, Invokes his father, and his wife, in vain; But yet his...
Seite 18 - The giddy fhip ran round ; the tempeft tore Her maft, and over-board the rudder bore. One billow mounts; and, with a fcornful brow, Proud of her conqueft gain'd, infults the waves below ; Nor lighter falls, than if fome giant tore Pindus and Athos, with the freight they bore, And tofs'd on feas : prefs'd with the ponderous blow Down finks the fhip within th' abyfs below : Down with the veflel fink into the main The many, never more to rife again.
Seite 7 - By turns a pitchy cloud she rolls on high; By turns hot embers from her entrails fly, And flakes of mounting flames, that lick the sky. Oft from her bowels massy rocks are thrown, And, shiver'd by the force, come piecemeal down.
