now, my youthful mariners! Where will ye sail to-day? Seek ye the southern latitudes, And Spice Isles far away?

Manilla and the Philippines, To have your canvass fanned By a thousand fragrant odours Before you see the land?

Or are ye for a bolder quest, Upon the Northern Seas; And, on your passage to the pole, See even ocean freeze?
