W:Jack Hinks (from various Gerald S. Doyle books)
W:
W:Ye muses, so kind, that are guarded by wind,
W:On the ocean as well as on shore,
W:Assist the poor bard to handle his card,
W:Without ceasing where billows do roar;
W:Not of Cupids he sings, nor of country nor kings,
W:Or of any such trifles he thinks,
W:But of seafaring, sailmaking, gamboling,
W:Capering, grog-drinking heroes like Hinks.
W:
W:When Jack comes on shore he has money galore,
W:And he's seldom cut short of a job,
W:He can dress as well as many can tell,
W:With a good silver watch in his fob;
W:Poor Jack in his life was ne'er plagued with a wife,
W:Though sometimes with lasses he links,
W:He's a seafaring, sailmaking, gamboling,
W:Capering grog-drinking hero, John Hinks.
W:
W:When inclined for to spend he walks in with a friend,
W:And with pleasure he sits himself down,
W:He tips off his glass as he winks at the lass,
W:And he smiles when she happens to frown;
W:Like a rattling true blue when the reckoning comes due,
W:On the table the money he clinks,
W:This seafaring, sailmaking, gamboling,
W:Capering grog-drinking hero, Jack Hinks.
W:
W:Bound home the other fall we fell in with a squall,
W:Near the northern head of Cape Freels,
W:We were cast away without further delay,
W:At the thought now my spirit it chills;
W:We were cast upon rocks like a hard hunted fox -
W:Of death and destruction he thinks,
W:That seafaring, sailmaking, gamboling,
W:Capering grog-drinking hero, Jack Hinks.
W:
W:Oh, Jack without fail was out in that same gale,
W:As the ship on her beam ends did lay,
W:Old Neptune did rail while he handled all sail -
W:And they had their two spars cut away;
W:But Providence kind who so eases the wind,
W:And on seamen so constantly thinks,
W:Saved that seafaring, sailmaking, gamboling,
W:Capering grog-drinking hero, Jack Hinks.
W:
W:Oh, death it will come like the sound of a drum,
W:For to summon poor Jack to his grave,
W:What more could he do for you all know 'tis true,
W:'Tis the fate of both hero and slave;
W:His soul soars afloat so doleful and soft,
W:While the bell for the funeral clinks,
W:Oh, peace to that seafaring, sailmaking, gamboling,
W:Capering, grog-drinking hero, John Hinks.
