Look you, not swiftly puts a fleet to sea,

Nor swiftly to its moorings; long it is
Or e"er the saving cables to the shore
Are borne, and long or e"er the steersmen cry,
_The good ship swings at anchor--all is well_
Look you, not swiftly puts a fleet to sea,
Nor swiftly to its moorings; long it is
Or e"er the saving cables to the shore
Are borne, and long or e"er the steersmen cry,
_The good ship swings at anchor--all is well_.
Longest of all, the task to come aland
Where haven there is none, when sunset fades
In night. _To pilot wise_, the adage saith,
_Night is a day of wakefulness and pain_.
Therefore no force of weaponed men, as yet
Scatheless can come ashore, before the bank
Lie at her anchorage securely moored.
Bethink thee therefore, nor in panic leave
The shrine of gods whose succour thou hast won
I go for aid--men shall not blame me long,
Old, but with youth at heart and on my tongue
[_Exit_ DANAUS.

Rollo had been reading, and she heard all the conversation. She knew

faults, and often endeavored to correct them, still that he was, like
all other boys, prone to selfishness and to vanity, and she thought that
she must take some way to show him clearly what the truth really was,
about his disinterestedness.
