W:'Tis not for honour or promotion; W:No tongue can tell what they undergo. W:In the blusterous wind and the great dark water W:Our ship went drifting on the sea, W:Her rigging gone, and her rudder broken, W:Which brought us to extremity. W: W:2 W:For fourteen days, heartsore and hungry, W:Seeing but wild water and bitter sky, W:Poor fellows all stood in a totter, W:A-casting lots as to who should die. W:Their lot it fell on Robert Jackson, W:Whose family was so great. W:"I'm free to die, but oh, me comrades, W:Let me keep look-out till the break of day." W: W:3 W:A full dressed ship like the sun a-glittering W:Came bearing down to their relief. W:As soon as this glad news was shouted, W:It banished all their care and grief. W:Our ship brought to, no longer drifting, W:Safe in Saint Vincent, Cap Verde, she lay. W:You seamen all, who hear my story, W:Pray you'll ne'er suffer the like again. % % % % % % % % % %]
