GUEST,Phil d'Conch Maritime work song in general (725* d) RE: Maritime work song in general 23 May 23


PROCELEUSMATIC, adj. (applied to verses), procéleusmatique.
[Dictionnaire Phraséologique Royal Anglaise-Francais, Francaise-Anglaise, Tarver, 1845]


“As for divine songs, however, they can easily, even while working with their hands, say them, and like as rowers with a boat-song[1], so with godly melody cheer up their very toil. Or are we ignorant how it is with all workmen, to what vanities, and for the most part filthiness, of theatrical fables they give their hearts and tongues, while their hands recede not from their work?
[1] celeumate.”
[Seventeen Short Treatises of S. Augustine, Cornish, Browne, 1847]
