The Building of the Ship.



 “ Build me straight, O worthy Master!
 Stanch and strong, a goodly vessel,
That shall laugh at all disaster,
 And with wave and whirlwind wrestle! ”

The merchant's word
Delighted the Master heard;
For his heart was in his work, and the heart
Giveth grace unto every Art.
