THE SENSATION CAPTAIN.

O nobler captain ever trod &emsp;Than ,
 * So good—so wise—so brave, he!

But still, as all his friends would own, He had one folly—one alone—
 * This Captain in the Navy.

I do not think I ever knew A man so wholly given to
 * Creating a sensation:

Or p'r'aps I should in justice say— To what in an Adelphi play
 * Is known as "Situation."
