"God, I confesse, by his Providence, ordereth all by Land and Sea; yea, he may be said to be the first Shipwright; for I behold his Arke as a Bird, wholly hatcht, but utterly unfledg; without any feathers of masts and tackling, it could only float and not sail; yet so, that therein was left pattern enough for humane ingenuity to improve it to naval perfection." Fuller

"Looking far foorth into the ocean wide, A goodly ship with banners brauely dight, And flag in her top-gallant I espide, Through the maine sea making her merry flight; Faire blew the winde into her bosome right; And th'heavens looked louely all the while; That she did seeme to daunce, as in delight, And at her own felicitie did smile," Spenser

Doughty.
Gathering shadows.
"And all his realm of foam and rain Whispering of what comes not again."
