I Throw A Page Up To The Wind

I throw a page up to the wind    
And to all sense take sail.    
In absence of all view of land,    
No country will sight unveil.      
The poorest can, and will embark      
Unfearing toll of gale;      
The frugal voyage - only this      
Will rend the mind less frail!      
      
           .....

(Frigate ships, such as the USS Constitution, one of the few still surviving today, were a type of tall sailing ship common in the 1800's; though built for early naval use and trade, they allowed toll free voyages to the poor.)
