Hmmm... I'll try using punctuation to 'splain that second verse: Bear where thou goest; the words of love Say all that words can say, Changeless affections strength to prove -- But speed upon the way. Thought one: Bear (steer) where you are going. New thought #1: The words of love say all that they can say about changeless affections' strength. New thought #2 (or somewhat of a reprise of the first thought): Keep on keepin' on. Now can someone tell me what the "barque shall soon outsail the tide" verse means? Bob
