"Oh, a capital ship for an ocean trip,
Was the Walloping Window Blind;
No gale that blew dismayed her crew
Or troubled the captain's mind." Charles Edward Carryl (1841-1920), U.S. poet. Davy and the Goblin (l. 1-4). . .

"The night was thick and hazy
When the "Piccadilly Daisy"
Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
And I think the water downed 'em;
For they never, never found 'em,
And I know they didn't come ashore with me." Charles Edward Carryl (1841-1920), U.S. poet. Davy and the Goblin (l. 1-6). . .
