As noble spoil, the victor's train.110

For he who faces death with joy

Can ne'er be wretched. Should his bark

Be wrecked upon the stormy sea

Where Africus with Boreas,

And Zephyrus with Eurus strive,

And rend the seas; he does not seek

To gather up the broken parts115

Of his wrecked ship, that, far at sea,

He still may cherish hopes of land.
