Rhyming Mariners

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.
- Samuel Coleridge

    A high school English class discussion about 'alliteration'
    presented us with an example from 'Ryme of the Ancient Mariner' which still sticks in my mind-"A fair wind blew and the white foam flew, and the furrow followed free"
