Poem by Herman Melville

Old Counsel

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.

1. The College Colonel
2. Crossing the Tropics
3. Jack Roy
4. Lines Traced under an Image of Amor Threatening
5. Healed of My Hurt
