The following song was here sung by Mr. Fletcher, the
cup-bearer :
I'm laid up, I'm laid up in the Birkenhead dock ;
I've stow'd snug away every rope, sail, aid ;
I'm stripp'd to agauntline, I've dowsed my burgee—
I'm laid up, and dismantled, and gone by the lee.

And yet I can tell you, my Lord, we've some reason
To be proud of the figure we've cut the last season ;
