Don Juan 05-005
Canto the Fifth

     V
 
The wind swept down the Euxine, and the wave
     Broke foaming o'er the blue Symplegades;
'T is a grand sight from off the Giant's Grave
     To watch the progress of those rolling seas
Between the Bosphorus, as they lash and lave
     Europe and Asia, you being quite at ease;
There's not a sea the passenger e'er pukes in,
Turns up more dangerous breakers than the Euxine.

George Gordon Byron, Lord Byron (1788-1824)
