A poem by Herman Melville

Old Counsel

________________________________________________
Title:     Old Counsel
Author: Herman Melville [More Titles by Melville]

_Of The Young Master of a Wrecked California Clipper_


Come out of the Golden Gate,
Go round the Horn with streamers,
Carry royals early and late;
But, brother, be not over-elate--
_All hands save ship!_ has startled dreamers.








[The end]
