ODE XIV.

Ill fated Ship! to quit the Shores,
And launch into the Main,
On a new Voyage, without Oars,
Thence never to return again!
The Winds have rent your Yard and Mast:
Your Sail and Tackle's gone;
A stormy Sea or sudden Blast
Will soon your foundring Keel o'erturn.
No more the Gods will calm the Floods;
Tho' thy Descent lay Claim
To ancient venerable Woods,
A boasted Birth, and useless Name.
The painted Forms that grace the Stern,
Can't ease the Sailors Minds;
Take heed, lest you too in your Turn
Give new Diversion to the Winds;
For you I wish, for you I fear,
Inur'd to endless Toils:
Those Shelves and narrow Straights beware,
That lye between the Grecian Isles.
