— Pirates
It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy.
Our prize is won, our chase is o’er,One a grave, and one a shroud.
When a pirate grows rich enough, they make him a prince.
Merchant and pirate were for a long period one and the same person. Even today mercantile morality is really nothing but a refinement of piratical morality.
Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.
