Won't we go it on sea and shore!

See, behind, how the hills are freckled

With low white huts, where the lasses bide

See, before, how the sea is speckled

With sloops and schooners that wait the tide

Yarmouth fishers may rail and roister,

Tyne-side boys may shout, "Give way!"

Let them dredge for the lobster and oyster,

Pink and sweet are our shrimps to-day!

Shrimps and the delicate periwinkle,
