"Thou didst, O Lord, create the mighty whale,
That wondrous monster of a mighty length; Vast is his head and body, vast his tail, Beyond conception his unmeasured strength. But, everlasting God, thou dost ordain That we, poor feeble mortals should engage Ourselves, our wives and children to maintain, This dreadful monster with a martial rage." Peleg Folger, 1754 Local Links |
