[As Mariners with hopes their Anchors weigh]

As Mariners with hopes their Anchors weigh,
But if cross VVinds, or Storms they meet at Sea,
They Damn their Stars, and Curse the Low'ring Day:
So Gamesters when the Luck of one prevails
Above anothers, then the Loser rails,
Damns Fortune, and in Passion bites his Nails.
