Fotuna, that gift from God, is every sailor's greatest
treasure. She ought to be cared after and fondled, played with
and guarded like a chest full of jewels.
She is devilish and evil, if you don't believe in her, and
every seaman who doesn't win her favors, regardless of all his
skills, will be burdened by a load of bad memories.
Fortuna was my attendant, my best companion; I never
lied or cheated on her, thus I won all her favors.
