But soon tempestuous winds arise,
    Loud roars the surge, descends the rain,
And vainly does young Enterprize
    His rudder urge to land again.
He swims to shore—on pinions gay,
    While with the weltering wave he strove,
His wily patron speeds away,
    But she was wrecked who sailed with Love.
