So begins the song of the pirate of our romantic Extremadura poet José de Espronceda, poetry which, in our childhood, we learned of memory and mediate with joy: "with ten cannons by band / wind aft under full sail, / does not cut the sea, but flies, / a vel" "ero Brig: / pirate ship they call / by their bravery the feared, / in all known sea / from one to the other ends"
Nonsense based on the poem "The pirate song" by José de Espronceda, where it says "with ten cannons for band / wind aft under full sail, / does not cut the sea, but flies / a Brigantine sailing ship". Obviously, a Brig cannot be armed with 200 cannons; by size and weight. The only hundred that appears in the poem is in "and have yielded a hundred Nations banners to my feet."; that will be another overstatement, but more poetic.
