"The Ballad of Captain Avery" was a poem written by Henry Avery. It went:

They stripped the rings
From their fingers
And the flesh
From their bones
They sent those poor sailors
Down to Davy Jones
He stripped the rings from their fingers
And the flesh from their bones
He sent those fine Moghuls
Down to Davy Jones
In pursuit of their riches
He voyaged in the Fancy
A once noble captain
On a quest very chancy

(PROSE: Susan's Diary, Stop, Thief!)
