The Ship That Found Herself

We now, held in captivity,
  Spring to our bondage nor grieve-
 See now, how it is blesseder,
 Brothers, to give than receive!
 Keep trust, wherefore we were made,
 Paying the debt that we owe;
 For a clean thrust, and the shear of the blade,
 Will carry us where would go.
