W [bray,

With a voice like thunder roaring,
All hands, my lads, get under way ;
Hark, the signal for nnmooring,
To save the joyous breeze,
Our handspikes quick we seize,

We man to thb tune of heo, hea, heo, &c.

Clewlines arid geer, let go my boys,
Haul home yodr Sheets like horses,

We ftrai§ comply, and eager fiv,
And obey the tune of heo, hea, heo, &c.
HEAVING the ANCHOR.
The anchor's up, oh ! next they call.
Avail boys, 'vaft your heaving.
Our cat and filh we overhaul,
Our handspikes nimbly leaving;
Then if a profperops gale.
We crowd on ev'ry fail,
Our sheets they sweetly flow,
Along we swim, our braces trim.
And its all to the tune of heo,hea,heo,&c.
Then lovely Moll,and Sue,and Beck,
Their eyes with grief o'er flowing,
With heavy hearts come up on deck,
The rude wind on them blowing ;
A short embrace uetake,
Which makes our hearts to ache,
A while we're loft in woe ;
Not to our grief can find relief,
I HI cheer'd by the tune of heo.hca heo&c.

THE generous Patrons
Q 3 ' of the Gazetteer, who
have afforded their little dues
annually, will please to notice,
that on, them depends the life
azd exift r nee of the Gazetteer;
and to them the editor returns
bis grateful thanks.
It is peculiarly pleafag to
the Editor, that he has a few
Cuflomers, who, need not a long,
melancholy tale of the printer's
necefity to persuade them to fet
element. —The printer is called
on to dijebarge large turns —
but large as they are, they can,
bis generous patrons know, be
made up of Imall ones — 'Os
drops the mighty ocean is com
poled —'the proud Miffifippi, &
the majedic Oronoke originate
in insignificant streams —lea,
more, the great globe itfelf, is
made of particles too minute but
for the micro/copic eye to difern
—and if these thus originate,
what may not final! things do,
towards making the printer and
his creditors happy ?—Our rea
ders will anfaer.'
