Charles Dibdin the younger Quote

Goletta's walls, for tactic science fam'd, Boast of the age, impregnable proclaim'd, No dam afford to stop the raging tide, All hearts conjoin'd, and ev'ry nerve applied; The bulwark cracks; the engineer applies Incessant art's destructive energies.


Young Arthur, Subject VI, Lament, l. 2738-2743 - Chadwyck-Healey. 1992
