    She comes majestic with her swelling sails,
    The gallant Ship: along her watery way,
    Homeward she drives before the favouring gales;
    Now flirting at their length the streamers play,
    And now they ripple with the ruffling breeze.

Trim little, slim little craft!

The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne,
Burned on the water: the poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were lovesick with them; the oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes.
