Sneak Peak
Still the Captain continued, unheeding the words of the stripling: "See, how bright they are burnished, as if in an arsenal hanging;That is because I have done it myself, and not left it to others.Serve yourself, would you be well served, is an excellent adage;So I take care of my arms, as you of your pens and your inkhorn.
