Of the "Lion"!

I see drifting by such a smart little crew,

Bedight in most delicate colours,

In ivory-white and forget-me-not blue—

A couple of pretty girl-scullers.

A pouting young puss, in the shortest of frocks—

A nice little nautical scion—

The good ship she steers, like a clever young "cox,"

Past the "Lion"!

I lazily muse and I smoke cigarettes,
