[STARBUCK] Mr. Stubb [STUBB] Mr. Starbuck [STARBUCK] Mr. Flask [FLASK] Mr. Starbuck [STUBB] Mr. Flask [FLASK] Mr. Stubb Mr. Starbuck [STARBUCK] Welcome aboard the Pequod, men My name is Starbuck, First Mate You all answer to me If you are good and noble and honest and brave and work hard We shall have a fine and rewarding whaling voyage [ALL] Good man Starbuck He's a Quaker from Nantucket Sailed so many times that his skin is as hard and golden as a twice-baked biscuit [STARBUCK] But I will have no man in my boat not afraid of a whale I will have no man in my boat not afraid of a whale No lowering for whales after sundown No fighting a fish that fights too much No gushing of daredevil daring I am here in this ocean [ALL] I am here in this ocean [STARBUCK] To kill whales and not to be killed by them A fearless man is a far more dangerous comrade than a coward
