Bearing the wanton burden of the prime
Like widowed wombs after their lords’ decease.”

Blue blue mountain—she never set foot
And then and there. Meanwhile the host
Mourned her quiet tenure. They all stayed chatting.
No one did much about eating.”

Who on a tilting deck sings
To keep men’s courage up, though the wake hangs
That shall cut off their sun.”
