"Who go to sea in ships," they hae't again-- And in Great waters trading be, Within the deep these men God's works And His great wonders see.

There's naething good comes oot o't but the fish; an' the spentacle o' God riding on the tempest, to be shure, whilk would be what Dauvit was likely ettling at.
