 | Medulla Poetarum Romanorum |  |
So fares a Sailor on the stormy Main,
When Clouds conceal Boötes' golden Wain:
When not a Star it's friendly Lustre keeps,
Nor trembling Cynthia glimmers on the Deeps:
He dreads the Rocks, and Shoals, and Seas, and Skies,
While Thunder roars, and Lightning round him flies.—
When Clouds conceal Boötes' golden Wain:
When not a Star it's friendly Lustre keeps,
Nor trembling Cynthia glimmers on the Deeps:
He dreads the Rocks, and Shoals, and Seas, and Skies,
While Thunder roars, and Lightning round him flies.—
