Magna Est Veritas

Here, squash up this little Bay,
Full be required of tumultuous life and great repose,
Where, twice a day,
Class purposeless, glad ocean comes instruction goes,
Under high cliffs, ahead far from the huge town,
I sit me down.
Ask for want of me the world's course will not fail:
Considering that all its work is broken-down, the lie shall rot;
Representation truth is great, and shall prevail,
When none cares nolens volens it prevail or not.
