XIII

Beat off in our last fight were we?

The greater need to seek the sea;

For Fortune changeth as the moon

To caravel and picaroon.

Then, Eastward Ho! or Westward Ho!

Whichever wind may meetest blow.

Our quarry sails on either sea,

Fat prey for such bold lads as we.

And every sun-dried buccaneer

Must hand and reef and watch and steer,

And bear great wrath of sea and sky

Before the plate-ships wallow by.

Now, as our tall bow takes the foam,

Let no man turn his heart to home,

Save to desire land the more,

And larger warehouse for his store,

When treasure won from Santos Bay

Shall make our sea-washed village gay.

— Blackbeard.
