The Ship in
You seamen that plough the ocean,
What dangers landsmen do know.
The sun gangs old England's nation;
No tongue can tell you go through.
Through bitter storms in the of battle,

Where thund'ring loudly rattle
There's no door to run away.

Which brought to extremity.

Nor to strengthen their arms;

And all that plough the raging
May never see no more such trials
And never know the again.
