Their place of rest, and Providence their guide;
They, hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow
Through Eden took their solitary way.”

As he landed his crew with care;
Supporting each man on the top of the tide
By a finger entwined in his hair.

That alone should encourage the crew.
Just the place for a Snark! I have said it thrice:
What I tell you three times is true.””
