Citation | EG.773.035 18-25 May 1773:1721 (5/252) AN EPITAPH IN THE MEMORY OF AN HONEST SAILOR: Whether sailor or not, for a moment avast; Poor Tom's mizen-top-sail is laid to the mast. He'll never turn out, or more heave the lead; He's now all a-back, nor will sails shoot ahead. He ever was brisk, and tho' now gone to wreck, When he hears the last whistle he'll jump upon deck. |
