Till with her precious cargo safe inside,

And all her forest-colours flying wide,

The mighty vessel put again to sea—

What, are you ready?—Wondrous smack,

As without a turn or tack

Hither come, so thither back,

And let subside the ruffled deep

Of earth to her primæval sleep.—

How steadily her course the good ship trims,

While Antioch far into the distance swims,
