Then there arose before them a fierceness in the sea,

And they replied patiently stoutly strongly and vigorously,

To the roar of the green sided high-strong waves,

Till they made a high quick very-furious rowing

Till the deep-margined dreadful blue-bordered sea

Arose in broad-sloping fierce-frothing plains

And in rushing murmuring flood-quick ever-deep platforms.

And in gloomy horrible swift great valleys

Of very terrible green sea, and the beating and the pounding

Of the strong dangerous waves smiting against the decks
