How shall I admire
Your courage, ye marine Adventurers?
Worthies, beyond all names of worthiness!
Who can endure alike the Sun so long
Present or absent; and without a dread
Encounter foggy mist, tempestuous sleet,
Cold blasts, with snows and hail in th’ frozen air,
And those unequal seas which might amaze
All ears and eyes, yea, and make Neptune’s self
To quake with chilly fear when he beholds:
