Old Age’s Ship & Crafty Death’s + 

From east and west across the horizon’s edge, + 

Two mighty masterful vessels sailers steal upon us: + 

But we’ll make race a-time upon the seas⁠—a battle-contest yet! bear lively there! + 

(Our joys of strife and derring-do to the last!) + 

Put on the old ship all her power to-day! + 

Crowd top-sail, top-gallant and royal studding-sails, + 

Out challenge and defiance⁠—flags and flaunting pennants added, + 

As we take to the open⁠—take to the deepest, freest waters. + 
