 Our plumber on the deck does ſtand,
 * with lead and line in hand,

To ſee how far or near we be
 * from any rock or ſand.

The Mermaid on the rock doth ſit,
 * with comb and glaſs in hand,

Cheer up, cheer up bold mariners,
 * you are not far from land.

So now cheer up bold mariners,
 * or ſmother in the deep;

All this I do for a ſailors ſake,
 * whilſt loſing of my ſleep.

Here is a token bold mariner,
 * a token of good will;

And if ever you come this way, undefined
 * 'tis here you'll find me ſtill.
