Excerpt from Drake: An English Epic; Books I-XII And shivering through the woods till Francis Drake Plunged through the hush, took hold upon a tree, The tallest near them, and clomb upward, branch By branch. And lo, as he swung clear above The steep-down forest, on his wondering eyes Mile upon mile of rugged shimmering gold Burst the unknown immeasurable sea. Then he descended and with a new voice Vowed that, God helping, he would one day plough Those virgin waters with an English keel.
