from Halieutica
Dear Earth, my Nurse, who bar'st and dost relieve me
With native food, in thy kinde arms receive me,
When ere my fatal day arrives; may seas
Be mild, and I on land Neptune appease:
Nor to a little Bark my safety trust,
Observing clouds, and every changing gust:
No horror like tempestuous waves; no wo,
No toil like that poor Sailors undergo
When on the roaring deep's rough back they ride;
One humid death not serves, they must provide
A feast for hungry guests, and in the grave
Of their dark maws unburied burial have.
The Mother of such miseries I fear,
From land I greet the sea, but come not near.
– Oppian (2nd century AD), translated by Thomas Stanley (1651)
