当年就是这首歌谣挽救了即将因为设备老化，不具备航行安全而要拆解的“宪法”命运！当然也成就了一位文学家？还是医生？
OLD IRONSIDES
By Oliver Wendell Holmes
September 16, 1830
Ay, tear her tattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout,
And burst the cannon's roar;
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.
Her deck, once red with heroes' blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying o'er the flood,
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea!
Oh, better that her shattered bulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!
啊，撕下她破烂的国旗！
它已高高飘扬了很久，
许多人都看到
那面旗在天空飘扬，
旗下曾响过战斗的呼喊，
进发过大炮的怒吼，──
海洋上空的流星将不再扫过云层。
她的甲板曾为英雄的鲜血染红，
被征服的敌人曾在那儿跪下，
当风匆匆吹过波涛，
底下翻起白色浪花，
再也感觉不到胜利者的脚步，
再也无法知道被征服者跪下的消息：──
岸边的鱼鹰将向海上的雄鹰发动攻击！
哦，她破烂的废船最好沉到海底；
她雷鸣的巨响震撼了巨大的深渊，
她的坟墓应该在那里；
将她那面圣旗钉到桅杆上，
将每一面破旧的帆都升起，
把她交给风暴之神，
交给闪电和骤雨！
