For it is true, unless I’ve erred,
There’s no good luck with a Finn on board.
When all at once around there came
Over the sea a greenish flame,
And the biggest whale I ever spied,
Rose up by Eric Jansen’s side:
For it is true, as you may’ve inferred,
There’s no good luck with a Finn on board.
And the Finn he got upon the whale,
And off in the flame we saw them sail;
