Allowed the Man from Phokis! Naught remained

But urge departure, flee the sights and sounds,

Hideous exultings, wailings worth contempt,

And pressed to other earth, new heaven, by sea

That somehow ever prompts to 'scape despair.

Help rose to heart's wish; at the harbor-side,

The old gray mariner did reverence

To who had saved his ship, still weather-tight

As when with prow gay-garlanded she praised

The hospitable port and pushed to sea.
