Sailor’s Advice
Boy in the bay, stay and understand: letters only attend the coming of a sail. Midway, we could see places very pleasant; the further we went, the more we lost sight. At cards, I come to see my fruitless precaution, getting without book when I can get the book.
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Saturday 12 May 1660.
