We somme foglant an the starfoot

clammt und sveltstrickt

ins gnocchi nicht

Stilldeckt, fearboden

velblakket all

nem wan kans nils persicht

Oren bin oren drammet we

slepfe nem wan kannot

pensamme oft we nilgen usland sicht

Wendon, Lodblinken! Sonne rimmet

felts ab clair

bov blaugen sofar okean

Bretplumers flaum an doppled waterscuffs

skimflighters brostle, ayn gint notheran

strange flishen, como gigants, glimt and plaumet

Sen kepitin Fortuno

(Lodreft bogfutch!)

smileeven

Fargript, mundklept, lagenflotted

we somme gamboltongues

befor the wander of itt.

Note: Sailors on an early voyage of discovery to the new world speaking in a European patois
