• Behold the Sea,
  The opaline, the plentiful and strong,
  Yet beautiful as is the rose in June,
  Fresh as the trickling rainbow of July;
  Sea full of food, the nourisher of kinds,
  Purger of earth, and medicine of men;
  Creating a sweet climate by my breath,
  Washing out harms and griefs from memory,
  And, in my mathematic ebb and flow,
  Giving a hint of that which changes not.
