from The Winter Storms
Blow! Blow! The winds are so hoarse they cannot blow.
Cold, cold! Our tears freeze to hail, our spittle to snow.
The waves are all up, they swell as they run.
Let them rise and rise
As high as the skies,
And higher to wash the face of the sun.
Port, port! The pilot is blind! Port at the helm!
Yare, yare! For one foot of shore take a whole realm:
Alee, or we sink! Does no man know to wind her?
Less noise and more room!
We sail in a drum!
Our sails are but rags, which lightning turns to tinder.
– Sir William Davenant (1673)
