My men came pressing round me, pleading:
'Why not take these
cheeses, get them stowed, come back,
throw open all the pens, and make a run for it?
We'll drive the kids and lambs aboard. We say
put out again on good salt water!'
Ah,
how sound that was! Yet I refused. I wished
to see the caveman, what he had to offer–
no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends.
