Till winds and seas were fair, she waited for

In Milan; till, resolved on embarkation,

The sea, that could not daunt her with his rage,

Soon as her foot was on his yellow shore,

Call’d up his Tritons and his Nereids

Who love and make a calm, to smooth his face

And still his heaving breast; on whose blue flood

The golden galley in defiance burn’d,

Her crew in wedding pearl and silver drest;

Her silken sail and cordage, fluttering
