A Sea-view
Print Edition
I am the whinnying white stallions
That brought you to these lands
Stayed your brothers battalions
And bore you to these sands
Upon my cantering cerulean steed
I did holp thee hither
I spared thee from mine azure stampede
And snatched you quick from thither
By your art I am summoned,
To put these wild waters affray,
And by your art undone
I did put them to rest allay
I tossed the noble vessel,
Up to welkin’s cheek,
I dashed it all to pieces
Which the fraughting souls did seek,
Against my heart their cries did knock
But I did’st to your command
I smashed it against your sturdy rock
And left it there cankering on land.
I am the waves the wind the breeze
But I am chastised, broken and bent
Controlled by thy art casting
And left fatigued and spent
No word, no utterance may I speak
Under thine sordid spell
I’m bound by your most artful net
Thus you control my swell
Thou did scream with all thine temperament
“Take heed of my wrathful ire”
Thou did leave them in perdition’s abatement
And did make their eyelids tire
I pray thee, mark me
O, brother why so perfidious
I placed my trust in thine liberal arts
Yet you were deceptive and insidious
And thou did tak’st from me
When thou did cam’st first
But I lead you to fair Caliban
To stop you dying of thirst
Thou dost refuse to see my sadness
With no eyes, look with thine ears
Hear my wails, my echoing sadness
And listen, for my thunderous tears
Of sulphurous roaring, the most mighty Neptune
O’the dreadful thunder claps shall sing
He shall besiege to make his bold waves tremble
To make way for this isle’s new king.
