Industrious pirate! see him sweep / The lonely bosom of the deep, / And daily the horizon scan / From Hatteras or Matapan.
Be sure, before that pirate's old, / He will have made a pot of gold, / And will retire from all his labours / And be respected by his neighbors.
You also scan your life's horizon / For all that you can clap your eyes on.
