Shipwreck: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Yet the incessant weepings of my wire, Weeping before for what she knew must co And piteous plaining of the pretty babes, That mourn'd for fashion, ignorant what to fear, Forc'd me to seek delays for them and me. C. E..

Described By A Clown

I would, you did but see how it chafes, how it rages, now it takes up the shore! but that's not to the point: O, the most piteous cry of the poor souls! sometimes to see 'em and not to see 'em: now the ship boring the moon with her main-mast; and anon swallowed with yeast and froth, as you'd thrust a cork into a hogshead. And then for the land service,--To see how the bear tore out his shouldersone; how he cried to me for help, and said his name was Antigonus, a nobleman:--But to make an end o' the ship: to see how the sea flap-dragon'd it:-but, first, how the poor souls roar'd, and the sea mock'd them;-and how the poor gentleman roar'd, and the bear mock'd him, both roaring louder than the sea, or weather.— W. T. iii. 3.
