Aspicis hanc animam gemino succumbere, fato?
Nec tua sunt velis astra secunda meis?
Aspice nec rabido luctantem desere ponto,
Naufraga nec medio lina relinque freto.
Tende manum potius miseræ, Palinure, natanti,
Et mento digitos subde, vocate, tuos.1

Appendix
A quote from Herman Hugo's 1624 emblem book, Pia desideria. English translation by Edmund Arwaker: “Seest thou my Soul lost in a double Death, / And wilt thou not reprive my flitting Breath? / Behold, O Lord! behold, and Pity me, / And leave me not to Perish in the Sea: / O hold me up by thy Almighty Hand, / And I shall quickly reach the wish’d-for Land. / Be thou my Pylot, and my Motion guide, / Then I shall swim in spight of Wind and Tide”.
