Men

"How many goodly creatures are there here!"
                        Miranda doted on the sight of seamen,
                        The very casual adventurers
                        Who took a flood as quickly as a calm,
                        And kept their blue eyes blue to any weather.
                        This was the famous manliness of men;
                        And when she saw it on the dirty strangers,
                        She clapped her pretty hands in sudden joy:
                        "O brave new world!"
