104 In Lighter Vein VI Still east by south the little boat, With tawny sail kept beating; Now out of sight, between two waves, Now o'er the horizon fleeting : Like greedy swine that feed on mast, The waves her mast seemed eating! VII The sullen sky grew black above, The wave as black beneath; Each roaring billow showed full soon A white and foamy wreath; Like angry dogs that snarl at first, And then display their teeth. VIII The boatman looked against the wind, The mast began to creak, The wave..., per saltum, came and dried, In salt upon his cheek! The pointed wave against him reared, As if it owned a pique ! IX Nor rushing wind, nor gushing wave, That boatman could alarm, But still he stood away to sea, And trusted in his charm; He thought by purchase he was safe, And armed against all harm ! Full Fathom Five X Now thick and fast and far aslant, The stormy rain came pouring, He heard upon the sandy bank The distant breakers roaring, A groaning intermitting sound, Like God and Magog snoring !
