Oh, etiquette’s a horrid bore!

I erred, and hence am broken-hearted.

The whole huge Fleet the signal read—

Confound that thoughtless act of folly!

What could I do but bow my head,

And bid a long [?] adieu to Solly?

You see ’twas getting on for night,

And true-bred tars, e’en midst carouses,

Think with considerate delight
