 So helped you that in fame you dwell; You bore the first iron battle’s burden Sealed as in a diving-bell. Alcides, groping into haunted hell To bring forth King Admetus’ bride, Braved naught more vaguely direful and untried. What poet shall uplift his charm, Bold Sailor, to your height of daring, And interblend therewith the calm, And build a goodly style upon your bearing. Escaped the gale of outer ocean-- Cribbed in a craft which like a log Was washed by every billow’s motion-- By night you heard of Og The huge; nor felt your courage clog At tokens of his onset grim: You marked the sunk ship’s flag-staff slim, Lit by her burning sister’s heart; You marked, and mused: “Day brings the trial: Then be it proved if I have part With men whose manhood never took denial.” A prayer went up--a champion’s. Morning Beheld you in the Turret walled by adamant, where a spirit forewarning And all-deriding called: “Man, darest thou--desperate, unappalled-- Be first to lock thee in the armored tower?  LIEBRAVOX YOUR HONEST HEART OF DUTY WARDEN SO HELPED YOU THAT IN FAME YOU DWELL YOU BORE THE FIRST IRON BATTLE'S BURDEN SEALED AS IN A DIVING BELL ALCIDES GROPING INTO HAUNTED HELL TO BRING FORTH KING AEMETUS'S BRIDE BRAVE NOT MORE VAGUELY DIREFUL AND UNTRIED WHAT POET SHALL UPLIFT HIS CHARM BOLD SAILOR TO YOUR HEIGHT OF DARING AND INTERBLEND THEREWITH THE CALM AND BUILD A GOODLY STYLE UPON YOUR BEARING ESCAPED THE GALE OF OUTER OCEAN CREPT IN A CRAFT WHICH LIKE A LOG WAS WASHED BY EVERY BILLOW'S MOTION BY NIGHT YOU HEARD OF OG THE HUGE NOR FELT YOUR COURAGE CLOG AT TOKENS OF HIS ONSET GRIM YOU MARKED THE SUNSHIP'S FLAGSTAFF SLIM LIT BY HER BURNING SISTER'S HEART YOU MARKED AND MUSED DAY BRINGS THE TRIAL THEN BE IT PROVED IF I HAVE PART WITH MEN WHOSE MANHOOD NEVER TOOK DENIAL A PRAYER WENT UP A CHAMPION'S MORNING BEHELD YOU IN THE TURRET WALLED BY ADAMANT WHERE A SPIRIT FOREWARNING AND ALL DERIDED CALLED MAN DAREST THOU DESPERATE UNAPPALLED BE FIRST TO LOCK THEE IN THE ARMOURED TOWER
