Naucratius was once freeing his fishing-net from a
sunken rock in the roaring eddies of the river. The
net he did not free, but was caught himself. Tell
me, O Word, how the net landed the fisherman
Naucratius, an example of pure life, instead of fish.
As I conjecture, both grace and death came to him
from the water.
