John Masefield's Cargoes is a song of contrasts. First we see the 'quinquereme of Nineveh,' the towering galley, with its five banks of oars, sailing home to Palestine with its fine-sounding cargo of 'ivory, and apes and peacocks, sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.'
Next is conjured up a picture of a stately Spanish galleon with its load of 'diamonds, emeralds, amethysts, topazes, and cinnamon, and gold moidores.'
Last scene of all, a violent contrast indeed, is that of the 'dirty British coaster ... butting through the Channel' with her prosaic burden of 'Tyne coal, road-rails, pig-lead, firewood, iron-ware and cheap tin trays.'
