Regardless of the wound so rudely made

In the too pliant bosom.

Stranger. You liken well

The waters to a woman; beautiful

In the bright sunshine of prosperity!

But when the tempest rages, sea-tossed man

Oft finds a shoal there, where his barque may strand,

Expecting a safe haven.

Sailor. You are bitter:

But truth is not always sweet. All on board
