Then he swore to himself, "Through thick and thin,
I'll win the Lady Matilda Winn."
The Lord of Lulworth, that somnolent peer,
Gained the young lady's father's ear,
Who said, "My Tilly must me obey.
One week to-morrow shall be the day
When Lulworth's Earl shall become our kin,
By wedding my daughter! my Tilly Winn!"
Matilda Winn made signs from shore
To her pirate lover, bold Durdle d'Or.
