And the ocean rocked him gently. Far from shore his oars he rested. Then he dropped his hook all baited Down into the clear blue water, Deeper, deeper, till he felt it Catch on something that resisted All his efforts to release it. Off he threw his outer garment, In his language called Kimono, Then into the ocean diving Like a fish, he swam to loosen From the rocks his fishing tackle, Down and down his line he followed. When at last he reached the bottom. Great his wonder on beholding There a p...alace built of coral. Roofed with pearly shells that glistened ; In the garden bloomed strange flowers, Such as seen on earth are never. 'Twas the palace Ryu-gu-jo, In the kingdom of Ryu-gu. All the fishes are his subjects, All the finny tribes obey him, Do his errands, pay him tribute. Gathered from the spoils of ocean. SONGS OF THE KINGDOM. 89 At the gate of this strange castle Stood the fair ones, noble ladies, Beckoning to Urashima, Welcoming him to the palace. Welcoming the son of ocean. To the world beneath the waters.
