Thus I by my loquacious tongueFrom the heaven of silence am ledInto perils unknown and dark.Not as Peter, disciple true,Confident in his virtue and faith,I am as one whose unnumbered sinsHave shipwrecked on the rolling seas.…How easily can I be shipwrecked,One untaught in seafaring arts,Unless you, almighty Christ,Stretch forth your hand with help divine.(How Easily Can I Be Shipwrecked, Contra Symmachum)
