He drank to carry off some old remains
His Lazy dull distemper left in's veins.
Let him drink on, but 'tis not a whole flood
Can give sufficient sweetness to his blood.
The tempest has blessed my sea-borne wakings.
Lighter than a cork I danced on the waves,
Those rolling beds of the eternal dead,
Ten nights, no thought for dull-eyed harbor lights!
