'Pirates of the Caribbean' belongs to Disney.

Jack, thy beauty is to me
As those wide-sailed ships of yore
Which boldly, o'er an untamed sea,
A brave and clever searcher bore
From his own native shore
On treasured seas long wont to roam.
Thy elfish face, thy beaded mane,
Thy storied skin have dreams unfurled
Of voyages to tropic isles
And pirate gold from bygone worlds.
Against the obstacles unknown
How laughing-eyed we see thee stand,
The agile sword within thy hand,
Ah! Sun-bronzed nyad, of that realm
Beyond all land!
