[Whilst th'angry Waves run Mountains high]
Whilst th'angry Waves run Mountains high,
And o'er the shatter'd Vessel break,
Throw over board, the Sailors cry,
Your heaviest Goods, for all's at Stake.
Pleas'd with this Order to comply,
I to the Floods commit my Wife,
For sure I am that never I,
Had heavier Goods in all my Life.
And o'er the shatter'd Vessel break,
Throw over board, the Sailors cry,
Your heaviest Goods, for all's at Stake.
Pleas'd with this Order to comply,
I to the Floods commit my Wife,
For sure I am that never I,
Had heavier Goods in all my Life.
