1    I|     dikes are flooded, and at sea~No mariner but furls his
2    I|  folks afield and on the open sea~A mighty rain is brewing;
3   II|     shoreward from the Ionian sea.~Not that all soils can
4   II|     Or should I celebrate the sea that laves~Her upper shores
5   IV| furious pours into the purple sea.~Soon as the chamber’s hanging
6   IV|    folk that people the waste sea~Sprinkled the bitter brine-dew
