Then on his airy Pinions upward flies, And at a second Fall successless tries; The downy Plume a quick Descent denies. Enrag'd, he often dives beneath the Wave, And there in vain expects to find a Grave. His ceaseless Sorrow for th' unhappy Maid, Meager'd his Look, and on his Spirits prey'd. Still near the sounding Deep he lives; his Name From frequent Diving and Emerging came.
