For all shes aged and poor and slow,
And I hope some fellow will lend a hand
To help my mother, you understand,
If ever shes poor and old and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away.”

The gayest laddie of all the group;

Ill help you cross, if you wish to go.”

Twice in the feeding sea, grown
Stale of Adams brine until, vision
Of new man strength, I seek the sun.”
