[Six days shalt thou labor and do all thou art able]
Six days shalt thou labor and do all thou art able,And on the seventh holystone the deck and scrape the cable.
Decks are no longer holystoned, but the cable still supplies the captain with opportunity to attest a pious respect for the divine ordinance.
