———

These white-capped waves roll on with pride, as if

The myth that ancient poësy did tell

Were true, and they did bear upon their breasts

King Néreus with state most royal. How

They leap and toss aloft their snowy crests;

And now a tumbling billow springing up

In air, does dash and bound—another comes—

Then playfully they meet, with bursting swell
