A Ship-load of Waggery

A Ship must have a Steers-man

And a Maid must have a youngman
to hit at her — Top and Top gallant.

A ship she sails &c.

to keep off her Foes,
And a Maid must have a youngman
to take up her — Top and Top gallant.

A Ship must have a Buntlin
to hawle up her Bunt,
And a maid must have a youngman
