Out of a fired ship, which by no way <br /> But drowning could be rescued from the flame, <br /> Some men leap'd forth, and ever as they came <br /> Near the foes' ships, did by their shot decay; <br /> So all were lost, which in the ship were found, <br /> They in the sea being burnt, they in the burnt ship drown'd.<br /><br />John Donne<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-burnt-ship/
