"How wind ye my Hearts of Gold?"
Metaphor in Context
And therefore now I began to grow weary of the Life I led, and believ'd it was high time to think of departing. And no wonder! I was so soon on another Frollick, for a wandring Humour found me out as I lay Capering in the Winding-Chambers of Nature, even there I lay forming Idea's of long Voyages, and New Worlds; and perhaps too grunting out, (for 'tis pure Charity to lend a Crutch to a lame Conceit.)
Bout-Ship, Stedy! Stedy! Hard-up! Hard-a-weather! How wind ye my Hearts of Gold? East? or West, and by Nore?
Some say I was no sooner born but my Eyes had Language, and my Looks were offering at Discoveries.
(III, p. 355)
