Mocha Frigate

Famous quotes containing the word frigate:

    “Our frigate takes fire,
    The other asks if we demand quarter?
    If our colors are struck and the fighting done?
    Now I laugh content for I hear the voice of my little captain,
    We have not struck, he composedly cries, we have just begun our part of the fighting.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
