1WHAT ship, puzzled at sea, cons for the true reck- oning?Or, coming in, to avoid the bars, and follow the chan- nel, a perfect pilot needs?Here, sailor! Here, ship! take aboard the most per- fect pilot,Whom, in a little boat, putting off, and rowing, I, hailing you, offer.2What place is besieged, and vainly tries to raise the siege?Lo! I send to that place a commander, swift, brave, immortal,And with him horse and foot—and parks of artillery,And artillerymen, the deadliest that ever fired gun.
