"A vigour and sincerity rare in modern English literature."—The Independent.
Philip the King, and Other Poems
"Mr. Masefield has never done anything better than these poems."—Argonaut.

"The salt of the sea is in these jingles not the mystic sea of the older poets who had an art, but the hard sea that men fight, even in these days of leviathan liners, in stout-timbered hulls with blocks to rattle and hemp for the gale to whistle through and give the salt-lipped chantey man his rugged meters."—New York Sun.
