A Rogue's Accolade Delivered Aboard a Pirate Ship to a Naive Youngster, the Sunny Bearer of Favorable News

 

Wondrously fortuitous!

Is your good news to us.

 

If it held bad—egad!—

My foolish, artless lad,

 

We so might then have made

You walk the longish plank

 

(And that sans serenade)

 

Right somewhere off the coast

Of island Trinidad.
