Abroad they come! the fluttering sails expand;
The yards again ascend each comrade mast,
The leeches taught, the halyards are made fast,

And straggling ropes in pendant order placed.

In streaming pendants flying, is unbent:
With brails refixed, another soon prepared,
Ascending, spreads along beneath the yard.
To each yard-arm the head-rope they extend,
