Florence Earle Coates - The Unconquered Air I lyrics

Others endure Man's rule: he therefore deems I shall endure it—I the unconquered Air! Imagines this triumphant strength may bear His paltry sway! yea, ignorantly dreams, Because proud Rhea now his va**al seems, And Neptune him obeys in billowy lair, That he a more sublime a**ault may dare, Where blown by tempest wild the vulture screams! Presumptuous, he mounts: I toss his bones Back from the height supernal he has braved: Ay, as his vessel nears my perilous zones, I blow the co*kle-shell away like chaff And give him to the Sea he has enslaved. He founders in its depths; and then I laugh!
