Religion
Acts 27:41: The batter'd ship, by tempest toss'd
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
The batter'd ship, by tempest toss'd
Had all the mighty shocks received,
Yet clear of rocks, and sands, and coast,
Weather'd the storm and strangely lived;
But when it to the land sticks fast
In pieces dash'd, it sinks at last.
