Sense（1）

(nautical) The top of a sailing ship’s mainmast.

What early philosophic hours he keeps,

How regular his meals, how sound he sleeps!

Not sounder he that on the mainmast head,

While morning kindles with a windy red,

Begins a long look-out for distant land,

Nor quits till evening-watch his giddy stand,

Then swift descending with a seaman’s haste,

Slips to his hammock, and forgets the blast.
