And under heaven quakes not an aspen leaf:

When seas are calm and thousand vessels fleet

Upon the sleeping seas with passage sweet;

And when the variant wind is still and lone

The cunning pilot never can be known:

But when the cruel storm doth threat the bark

To drown in deeps of pits infernal dark,

While tossing tears both rudder, mast, and sail,

While mounting, seems the azure skies to scale,

While drives perforce upon some deadly shore,
