ROUGH SEA by ARCHILOCHUS

First Line: GLAUCUS, LOOK! AT SEA ALREADY SPLASHING WAVES ARE SWELLING HIGH
Last Line: SIGN OF STORM TO COME, AND PANIC COMES UPON US SUDDENLY.
Subject(s): SEA; OCEAN;

GLAUCUS, look! at sea already splashing waves are swelling high,
And above the Cape of Gyrae pillared clouds mount up the sky,
Sign of storm to come, and panic comes upon us suddenly.
