Phillis Wheatley - Ode To Neptune
Work rating: Low

On Mrs. W——-`s Voyage to England.

               I.

While raging tempests shake the shore,
While Aeolus` thunders round us roar,
And sweep impetuous o`er the plain
Be still, O tyrant of the main;
Nor let thy brow contracted frowns betray,
While my Susanna skims the wat`ry way.

               II.

The Pow`r propitious hears the lay,
The blue-ey`d daughters of the sea
With sweeter cadence glide along,
And Thames responsive joins the song.
Pleas`d with their notes Sol sheds benign his ray,
And double radiance decks the face of day.

               III.

To court thee to Britannia`s arms
  Serene the climes and mild the sky,
Her region boasts unnumber`d charms,
  Thy welcome smiles in ev`ry eye.
Thy promise, Neptune keep, record my pray`r,
Not give my wishes to the empty air.
