The following lines are taken out of a manuscript epistle,
writ by a young gentleman, at the age of seventeen, to a
particular friend, to dissuade him from going to sea. The
ingenious author was afterwards so unfortunate as to go
himself with Sir Cloudesly S[k]ovel and was lost in the
memorable shipwreck on the rocks of Still[e]y 1707.
From the Whitehall Evening-Post, Nov. 20. . .
Maturely weigh, how dreadful is the sight,
When breaking waves shall be your only light;
