    Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginnings of my
    strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
    Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up
    to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my
    couch.

O Lord! methought what pain it was to drown!
What dreadful noise of waters in mine ears!
What sights of ugly death within mine eyes!
Methoughts I saw a thousand fearful wracks;
A thousand men that fishes gnawed upon;
Wedges of gold, great anchors, heaps of pearl,
Inestimable stones, unvalued jewels,
All scatt'red in the bottom of the sea:
Some lay in dead men's skulls, and in the holes
Where eyes did once inhabit, there were crept
(As 'twere in scorn of eyes) reflecting gems,
That wooed the slimy bottom of the deep
And mocked the dead bones that lay scatt'red by.

The world turns softly
Not to spill its lakes and rivers,
The water is held in its arms
And the sky is held in the water.

That pours silver,
And can hold the sky?
