    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.
