Excerpt from The Galleon Treasure Was much the same in thought and heart As maids in these ungodly days. And well I ken your lads of old Would run away from book or game, To do brave deeds, or hear them told And lads today are just the same. And so fall to and fear ye not The sombreness of olden phrase, Nor look ye on their homely lot But rather on their human ways. For e'en though fickle custom kill The homely ways, all prim and strange, And fashions change, as fashions will, The heart of youth will never change.
