Brave Adm’r’l, speak, what shall I say?”(4)
“Why, say,(5) ‘Sail on! Sail on and on!’”
They sailed and sailed(6) as winds might blow
Until at last the blanched mate(7) said:
“Why, now, not even God would know,
Should I and all my men fall dead.(8)
These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dread seas is gone,
Brave Adm’r’l, speak, what shall I say?”(9)
He said,(10) “Sail on! Sail on and on!”
