Who came at night with ladder of rope,
For Tilda Winn had agreed to elope.
"We're privately married, so 'tis no sin,"
Quoth the beautiful Lady Matilda Winn.
But the somnolent Earl and the testy Lord
Pursued and caught, ere they got aboard
The pirate vessel, the lovers twain,
Who leapt from the boat! And ne'er again,
When past and gone was the tempest's din,
Were seen Durdle D'or and his Tilly Winn.
