With sloping masts and dipping prow, As who pursued with yell and blow Still treads the shadow of his foe. And forward bends his head. The ship drove fast, loud roared the blast, And southward aye we fled.

Using the words given above rewrite PART I of the poem in your own words. The first stanza has been done as an example:

With sloping masts and dipping prow,
As who pursued with yell and blow
Still treads the shadow of his foe.
And forward bends his head.
The ship drove fast, loud roared the blast,
And southward aye we fled.
