1 quote

No more to plunge through depths of bubbling sea,
Startling the finny shoals that downward float
Nor gambol to the reed-pipe’s melody,
Breaking the billows round the fisher’s boat!
Child of the foam! fair mermaids clinging close
Shall cross on thee to ocean’s end no more:
Huge as the Southern Cape a wave arose,
And hurled thee high upon the sandy shore.
