The Ballad of Captain Avery

"The Ballad of Captain Avery" was a poem written by Henry Avery.
It went:
:They stripped the rings
:From their fingers
:And the flesh
:From their bones
:They sent those poor sailors
:Down to Davy Jones
:He stripped the rings from their fingers
:And the flesh from their bones
:He sent those fine Moghuls
:Down to Davy Jones
:In pursuit of their riches
:He voyaged in the Fancy
:A once noble captain
:On a quest very chancy
(PROSE: Susan's Diary, Stop, Thief!)
