So time sped on, and artful Hunky Sam

In foreign climates had a jolly time

For several years. "I think I'll homeward sail,"

One day he said, "and see how Susan Ann

Gets on; like Enoch, I will softly glide

Towards the cottage there upon the cliff,

And see how she makes out with her new man,

For she is doubtless wedded once again,

Just like that Mrs. Arden in the book."

Away he sailed across the sounding surge
