Holloa! the good ship of Delight
Spreads her sails for the sea today;
Who embarks? who embarks, I say?
Today the good ship of Content,
With a wind at her choice for her course,
To a land where no troubles are sent,
Where none knows the stings of remorse,
With a wind fair and free takes her flight;-
Who embarks? who embarks, I say?
