O ship-chiefs! the world has two oceans!—the one to your efforts gives way—
The other is frozen to mountains that trap you for many a day.
Just now watchful men through the ether flashed tidings of woe in your path:
Why rush at the half-hidden monsters, as if you were seeking their wrath?
Though you for the coining of money your own lives to venture are prone,
What right have you over these thousands who lent you the care of their own?
The other is frozen to mountains that trap you for many a day.
Just now watchful men through the ether flashed tidings of woe in your path:
Why rush at the half-hidden monsters, as if you were seeking their wrath?
Though you for the coining of money your own lives to venture are prone,
What right have you over these thousands who lent you the care of their own?
