The Poor Fisherman
By Alcæus (c. 620–c. 580 B.C.)
Translation of Sir William Jones
T
And shore, the same abode of poverty—
His trusty boat;—and when his days were spent,
Therein self-rowed to ruthless Dis he went;
For that, which did through life his woes beguile,
Supplied the old man with a funeral pile.
