NO SHIPWRECK OF VIRTUE. TO A FRIEND, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Thou sail'st with others, in this argus here
Last Line: And 'midst a thousand gulfs to be secure.
Subject(s): Disasters; Shipwrecks


Thou sail'st with others, in this Argus here;
Nor wrack, or Bulging thou hast cause to feare:
But trust to this, my noble passenger;
Who swims with Vertue, he shall still be sure
(Ulysses-like) all tempests to endure;
And 'midst a thousand gulfs to be secure.
