"The Ballad of Captain Avery"

"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: Stop, Thief!)
