Sappho again, then cross'd her bow, At least two miles or more. XL. This time the Sappho clung more close, For soon she went in stays. Visions of triumph met her sight, And green, triumphant bays. XLI. For then the " mark-boat " caught her eye, She tack'd for it in shore, And as she headed for the stake, Saw only one tack more. XLII. The stake she reach'd on starboard tack, Her helm is hard a-lee, Her sails are shaking in the wind, She 's round ! she 's round ! we see. - 6 4 - XLIII. With flowi...ng sheets, light sails aloft, All swelling with the wind, The greeting shouts, the screaming steam, She leaves them all behind. XLIV. Livonia, too, she tack'd " in shore, " And headed for the stake, Then tack'd again, soon as she. Thought The mark-boat she could " make. " XLV. Then with her port-tacks well aboard, She made it on its lee, And " wearing ship " she had to make, A longer turn, you see. XLVI. But when she 'd fairly pass'd around, And greetings had been giv'n, She crowded all her canvas on, And homeward then she 's driven.
