I gave my whole attention to the pitch,
To notice every detail in its depths,
And of the people who were boiling there.
As dolphins, by the arching of their backs,
Warn mariners that they must shorten sail
And thus secure the safety of the ship:
So, every now and then, to ease his torment
A sinner here or there would show his back
And quick as lightning dive below again.
