WHO that has sailed upon the ocean's face,
Or walked beside the sea along the sand,
Has not felt envy for the piscine race,
Comparing its domain, where noise is banned,
To the infernal racket that takes place
On land?
While up above the billows rage and roar
And make a most unnecessary noise,
And shallow Shrimps, who live too near the shore,
Are harassed by the shouts of girls and boys,
