Index — Chapter SHALL <i>to</i> SHIP (Part 2 of 2)

Glued together with some subtile matter;
Yet had it arms and wings, and head and tail,
And life to move itself upon the water.

Spenser.—Colin Clout, Vol. V. Line 212.

She walks the waters like a thing of life,
And seems to dare the elements to strife.

Byron.—The Corsair, Canto I. Stanza 3. Adapted from Spenser.

Upon the gale she stoop’d her side,
And bounded o’er the swelling tide,
As she were dancing home;
The merry seamen laugh’d, to see
Their gallant ship so lustily
Furrow the green sea-foam.

Scott.—Marmion, Canto II. Stanza 1.
