A fierce tempest roared
like an angry sea monster.
His lady’s message
revealed a depressive mood.
Was it the world’s end?

or he would be drowned in sins.
Lightning struck his chamber and
his father appeared to him
in a dream, ordering his
departure forthwith.
He deferred to the gods’ sign
boarding a leaky vessel.
