Then he thought he'd done a mighty clever thing,
Brave boys!
But the Whale gave a fhwisk! with his ta-a-a-ail,
And then vanished from his view,
With the harpoon wot he threw,
And WILL-I-AM nearly followed that Whale,
Brave boys!
Wos werry near to following that Whale:
Then WILL-I-AM the Whaler looked dumfoozled,
Brave boys!
