And thy heart shall fear. ] At first, at least, to see such a confluence of people unto thee.

And be enlarged. ] With joy, upon better consideration.

Because the abundance of the sea, ] i.e., The multitude of the islanders, and such as dwell by the sea side, which are noted for the worst of men, whence the proverb, Maritimi mores. Such are we Britons.
