Excerpt

Says the Cap’n to the Crew,
We have slipped the Revenue,
  I can see the cliffs of Dover on the lee: 
Tip the signal to the Swan,
And anchor broadside on,
  And out with the kegs of Eau-de-Vie,
             Says the Cap’n: 
  Out with the kegs of Eau-de-Vie. 
Says the Lander to his men,
Get your grummets on the pin,
  There’s a blue light burning out at sea. 
The windward anchors creep,
And the Gauger’s fast asleep,
  And the kegs are bobbing one, two, three,
               Says the Lander: 
  The kegs are bobbing one, two, three.
