THE SHIP

An Old English Rhyme

I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing on the sea ;
And, oh, it was all laden
With pretty things for thee!

There were comfits in the cabin,
And apples in the hold ;
The sails were made of silk,
And the masts were made of gold.

The four and twenty sailors
That stood between the decks
Were four and twenty white mice,
With chains about their necks.

The captain was a duck,
With a jacket on his back ;
And when the ship began to move,
The captain said, "Quack ! quack !"
