HEARTS of OAKS by D. Garrick (1717 - 1779)

Come, cheer up, you who perpetuate "youth." To glorify "youth" we steer.
To add something more to this wonderful year.
To honor "youth"we summon you, as freemen, not as slaves, for who are as free as the sons of the waves who as energy-bearing, self-propagating lads portraits  freedom and perpetuate "youth"?

HEART of OAKS, are our ships, jolly tars our men, disguised in the dark,  thick viscous essence, making dreams seem true. We always ready, steady lad, steady!
We will fight an we will conquer again and again.

The adults swear they will invade us. Oh, these terrible foes. They frighten our women, our offspring and lovers. Should their flat-bottom carriers going in darkness also, will get over us?
They still men will find a way to receive 'age' on their shores.

HEART of OAKS are our ships, jolly tars our men, disguised in the dark,  thick viscous essence, making dreams seem true. We always ready, steady lad, steady!
We will fight and we will conquer again and again.

"Youth" is, in herself, triumphant. Her ships bringing her essence, sweep the sea. Her on measure of justice is preserved. Her watch-word persist : BE FREE!
Then youth and everyone who wants to preserve it, cheers up.
You soldiers, sailors, you statesmen, and king, with one heart let everybody sing.

HEART of OAKS, are our ships, jolly tars our men, disguised in the dark, thick viscous essence,
making dreams seem true. We always ready, steady lad, steady!
We will fight and we will conquer again and again.
