THE HUSBANDS' BOAT, A MARGATE MELODY

See! what craft Margate Harbour displays,

There are luggers and cutters and yawls,

They sail upon sunshiny days,

For land-sailors arn't partial to squalls.

There's Paterfamilias takes out the lot

Of the progeny he may own,

But the Saturday Evening boat has got

A freight that is hers alone.

By far the most precious of craft afloat,
