Secure as when the halcyon breeds, with these,

He, that was born to drown, might cross the seas.

Heaven could not own a Providence, and take

The wealth three nations ventured at a stake.

The same indulgence Charles his voyage blessed,

Which in his right had miracles confessed.

The winds, that never moderation knew,

Afraid to blow too much, too faintly blew;

Or, out of breath with joy, could not enlarge

Their straightened lungs, or conscious of their charge.
