Stanza 21: The Sea

byþ leodum         langsum geþuht
gif hi sculun neþan         on nacan tealtum.
and hi sæ yþa         swyþe bregaþ.
and se brim hengest         bridles ne gym

For the people it seems interminable
If they must venture on a tilting boat
And the violent waves of the sea terrify them
And the sea horse has no regard for the bridle.
