Anchors and planks thou shalt not want,
Masts and ropes that are so long.”
And if you thus do furnish me,
Said Simon, nothing shall goe wrong.
They pluckt up anchor, and away did sayle,
More of a day then two or three ;
When others cast in their baited hooks,
The bare lines into the sea cast he.
It will be long, said the master then,
Ere this great lubber do thrive on the sea ;
