He calculates beforehand the expense.
And makes a nice division of the whole
Between himself and his ship's company,
So that each person eats but of his own.
Another, just three days arrived in port,
Without or wounded mast or shatter'd sail,
With a rich cargo from Byzantium;
He reckons on his ten or twelve per cent.
Clear profit of adventure, is all joy,
All life, all spirits, chuckles o'er his gain,
