Once more the rover is free!

And the ‘Larboard Watch’—the person referred to below is at the masthead, or somewhere up there—

Oh, who can tell what joy he feels,

As o’er the foam his vessel reels,

And his tired eyelids slumb’ring fall,

He rouses at the welcome call

Of ‘Larboard watch—ahoy!’

Yes, and there was for ever and always some jackass-voiced person braying out—

Rocked in the cradle of the deep,

I lay me down in peace to sleep!
