O never star
Was lost; here .......

Souls within bodies are like dwellers in a
wave-washed sea, besieged by land but not by sea.
And the city may be taken, but its inhabitants,
with all that is worth transport, will have
embarked already on some glorious fresh adventure,
banners flying and sails set.
