elements is rocked to and fro. Disorder and strife are
revelng in their mad Will it be arresed2 And
will our guardian angel still protect us from the raging

through storm and sunshne she must proudly career
the waves OF an open to grandeur and power or she
must go down amid the rocks, in tempest and furious
blast with the crew in state of mutny We copar
