"Simon, wilt thou be my man?

And good round wages I'le give thee;

I have as good a ship of my own,

As any sails upon the sea.

"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;
