"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!"
