LinesWhen the gale blows hew wood, in fair winds seek the water;Sport with maidens at dusk, for day’s eyes are many;From the ship seek swiftness, from the shield protection,Cuts from the sword, from the maiden kisses.

When the gale blows hew wood, in fair winds seek the water; Sport with maidens at dusk, for day’s eyes are many; From the ship seek swiftness, from the shield protection, Cuts from the sword, from the maiden kisses.
