O Lord, methought what pain it was to drown! What dreadful noise of waters in my ears! What sights of ugly death within my eyes! Methoughts I saw a thousand fearful wrecks A thousand men that fishes gnaw'd 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 woo'd the slimy bottom of the deep, And mock'd the dead bones that lay scatter'd by.
As we pac'd along Upon the giddy footing of the hatches, Methought that Gloster stumbled and, in falling, Struck me, that thought to stay him, overboard Into the tumbling billows of the main. Methoughts that I had broken from the Tower, And was embark'd to cross to Burgundy And, in my company, my brother Gloster Who from my cabin tempted me to walk Upon the hatches: thence we look'd toward England, And cited up a thousand heavy times, During the wars of York and Lancaster, That had befall'n us. What was your dream, my lord? I pray you tell me.
