“Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”

For so appears this fleet majestical.”

sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
