"Half seas over" in ruin is drowned;
"Whole seas over" has reached the firm ground.
"Half seas over" is lost and alone;
"Whole seas over" has met with his own.
"Half seas over" is tossed by the waves;
"Whole seas over" finds ally that saves.
So here is a hand, dear England, to thee,
Over the whole of the sundering sea.
