Or, The Pirate and the Apothecary / Come lend me an attentive ear / A startling moral tale to hear, / Of Pirate Rob and Chemist Ben, / And different destinies of men.
Deep in the greenest of the vales / That nestle near the coast of Wales, / The heaving main but just in view, / Robin and Ben together grew, / Together worked and played the fool, / Together shunned the Sunday school, / And pulled each other's youthful noses / Around the cots, among the roses.
