THE SKAITH OF GUILLARDUN: 70 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: WITHIN THE APPOINTED TIME HE DID COMPEL
Last Line: ONCE MORE HIS PROW THE FROTHY SEAS DOTH SPURN.
Subject(s): ABSENCE; SAILING & SAILORS; SEA; SEPARATION; ISOLATION; OCEAN;

Within the appointed time he did compel
The insurgent baronage to sue for peace.
Then from the master he had served so well
Claim'd as reward an opportune release.
The turmoil at his heart he could not quell,
His headstrong passion did the more increase.
True to the pledgéd hour of his return,
Once more his prow the frothy seas doth spurn.
