As in amaze he stood to gaze, The truth can't be denied, sir, He spied a score of kegs or more Come floating down the tide, sir. A sailor too in jerkin blue, This strange appearance viewing, First damned his eyes, in great surprise, Then said, “Some mischief's brewing. “These kegs, I'm told, the rebels hold, Packed up like pickled herring; And they're come down t' attack the...
