English term or phrase: with her full tide is ready her to honor
Hola amig@s tod@s: Muchas gracias por sus aportes, todos sin excepción son verdaderamente muy profesionales. Les tengo otro requerimiento: Se trata de una oración dentro de un poema, el autor aparentemente confunde el género ya que primero se refiere al oceano como masculino pero despues usa el femenino. La estrofa es esta:
LOOK how the pale queen of the silent night
Doth cause the ocean to attend upon her,
And he, as long as she is in his sight,
With her full tide is ready her to honor.

with her full tide is ready her to honor.
con su marea alta, preparado para honrarla.


Explanation:
La conjunción "y" es redundante ya que aparecerá en la traducción del verso anterior. Además, personalmente prefiero eliminar el verbo "está" para que el verson no crezca demasiado con la traducción.

The word "ready" ties in to the phrase "as long as" in the line above. Thus, while the moon is fully visible, the sea will continue to fully honor her. The word "her" refers to the moon (the pale queen of the silent night).

y él está presto a honrarla con la marea alta que ella trae


Explanation:
No hay confusión de género, "he" es el océano, "she" es la luna. Lo que señala el poema es que la "full tide" es un fenómeno lunar, no oceánico. De allí que he is ready to honour her with HER full tide.
