I’ve had a fortune left me, as I learn,
So now I guess I give the land a turn.
I am not one who a sea-life belittles,
But do confess I cannot stand the vittles:
You may correct me if you think I’m wrong;
But first I’ll give my sentiments in song:”
THE SAILOR’S FAREWELL
Hard tack and cheese, good-bye!
For I am going home,
To keep me warm and dry,
