To take in sail

Who sets TO seas shore
Came to me in His fatal rouhus'
And said No moreF
As the bird trims her 10 the gale,
trim myself to the storm Of Time;
T man the rudder, reef the sail,
Obey the voice at eve obeyed at prime
T,owIy. faithful; Danish fear;
Right. onward, drive unframed!
The mort. well worth the cruise, Is near,
And every wave is charmed
