Sayling the Babel
(Drinte Mog, 1499)

We somme foglant an the starfoot
clammt und sveltstrickt
ins gnocchi nicht

Stilldeckt, fearboden
velblakket all
nem wan kans nils persicht

Oren bin oren drammet we
slepfe nem wan kannot
pensamme oft we nilgen usland sicht

Wendon, Lodblinken! Sonne rimmet
felts ab clair
bov blaugen sofar okean

Bretplumers flaum an doppled waterscuffs
skimflighters brostle, ayn gint notheran
strange flishen, como gigants, glimt and plaumet

Sen kepitin Fortuno
(Lodreft bogfutch!)
smileeven

Fargript, mundklept, lagenflotted
we somme gamboltongues
befor the wander of itt.
