STORM AT SEA (2) by ALCAEUS OF MYTILENE

First Line: ON TOP OF ALL THE REST COMES ON A NEW
Last Line: WE SUFFERED, PROVE OUR MANHOOD NOW!
Subject(s): SEA; STORMS; OCEAN;

On top of all the rest comes on a new
Wave up, and that will give us much to do . . .
Patch up with haste the gaping side
And into a safe harbour ride!

Let no soft fear lay hold of anyone;
Before us lies a great task to be done.
Remembering the past and how
We suffered, prove our manhood now!
