The Compass

O how wondrous the view! Marvellous
The scenes are. Good thing to choose
To navigate in these waters. All hail
Sights where the sun sets. Happiness, prevail.
That is what I say, but why, why, why
Do I get from this admiral a continuous fie?
If he prefers otherwise, why not leave me alone
And I shall leave him with the wishes of his own?
Persistent as he is, I am resolute. Then everything
Changes. I hear what he is saying. My eyes are opening.

(Sailing, Poem 1)
