I am a sailor, both stout and strong
To a goodly vessel I do
belong
Well guard and anchored and well equipped
Sir William Gower and a very fine
ship
Our captain in his cabin lay
When a dreadful voice to him did say
"This
night with me in the deep you'll be
So prepare yourself and your company"
The sky
grew dark and the sea grew still
Though the men were fearful and the air was chill
Sir
William rose to meet his men
Saying "Hear me now for I'll not speak again"
"I loved
my mother when she was alive
And to my sister I gave babies five
I killed my wife and her
children three
So I now must face what has come for me"
"You'll lash a timber close
to my side
And throw me out on the water wide
And if I swim then let me be
But if I
sink them pray for me"
So we tied his head and we tied his feet
And around his
middle a winding sheet
At every knot the sea did stir
Grew ready for the
murderer
And then we saw his open grave
The likeness of a single wave
That
swept our ship from her stern to her bow
And bore away Sir William Gower
