One the other never leaving
Up and down the roads going
North and South excursions making
Power enjoying, elbows stretching, fingers clutching
Arm’d and fearless
Eating
Drinking
Sleeping
Loving
No law less than ourselves
Owning
Sailing
Soldiering
Thieving
Threatening
Misers, menials, priests alarming, air breathing, water drinking,
On the turf or the sea-beach dancing,
Cities wrenching, ease scorning, statutes mocking, feebleness chasing,
Fulfilling our foray
