Should fix me stiffen'd at the monstrous sight,  
A stony image, in eternal night!  
Straight from the direful coast to purer air  
I speed my flight, and to my mates repair.  
My mates ascend the ship; they strike their oars;  
The mountains lessen, and retreat the shores;  
Swift o'er the waves we fly; the freshening gales  
Sing through the shrouds, and stretch the swelling sails."  
303
