"Halt! Sit at—ease! Ground—oars! Sit easy!"
"The dressing's bad all down the line."
"Eyes on your front rank's shoulders, Seven!
Don't watch the Cam—it's not the Rhine—
Or gaze for Gothas up in heaven!"
"I want to hear your rowlocks ring
Like a good volley, all together."
"Hands up (or 'Kamerad') as you swing
Straight from the hips. Don't sky your feather,
As if I'd given the word, 'High Port'!"
