The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

In Seven Parts


Argument

How a Ship having passed the Line was driven by storms to the cold Country towards the South Pole ; and how from thence she made her course to the tropical Latitude of the Great Pacific Ocean ; and of the strange things that befell ; and in what manner the Ancyent Marinere came back to his own Country.


PART I

An ancient Mariner meeteth three Gallants bidden to a wedding-feast, and detaineth one.



Rusty Fitzpatrick [1]


It is an ancient Mariner,
And he stoppeth one of three.
`By thy long beard and glittering eye,
Now wherefore stopp'st thou me ?


Jono666 [2]


The Bridegroom's doors are opened wide,
And I am next of kin ;
The guests are met, the feast is set :
May'st hear the merry din.'


Timmy the Trenchie [3]


He holds him with his skinny hand,
`There was a ship,' quoth he.
`Hold off ! unhand me, grey-beard loon !'
Eftsoons his hand dropt he.


The Wedding-Guest is spell-bound by the eye of the old seafaring man, and constrained to hear his tale.


deadboi77 [4]


He holds him with his glittering eye--
The Wedding-Guest stood still,
And listens like a three years' child :
The Mariner hath his will.


Mad Jack MacMad [5]


The Wedding-Guest sat on a stone :
He cannot choose but hear ;
And thus spake on that ancient man,
The bright-eyed Mariner.


Maya X [6]


`The ship was cheered, the harbour cleared,
Merrily did we drop
Below the kirk, below the hill,
Below the lighthouse top.


The Mariner tells how the ship sailed southward with a good wind and fair weather, till it reached the Line.


Delrod the soldier [7]

The Sun came up upon the left,
Out of the sea came he !
And he shone bright, and on the right
Went down into the sea.


Cat Awesome [8]


Higher and higher every day,
Till over the mast at noon--'
The Wedding-Guest here beat his breast,
For he heard the loud bassoon.


The Wedding-Guest heareth the bridal music ; but the Mariner continueth his tale.


casimiro [9]


The bride hath paced into the hall,
Red as a rose is she ;
Nodding their heads before her goes
The merry minstrelsy.


Voof [10]


The Wedding-Guest he beat his breast,
Yet he cannot choose but hear ;
And thus spake on that ancient man,
The bright-eyed Mariner.


The ship driven by a storm toward the south pole.
