We are at sea, on a frail craft it is certain, but a dull sailer may make a sure passage. Speak, gallant Master Seadrift: thy gaiety and spirit should revive under so goodly an omen!"

We have been rambling all this night, And almost all this day, And now returning back again, We bring you in the May. The hedges and trees they are so green, In the sunne's goodly heat, Our Heavenly Father He watered them With His Heavenly dew so sweet. A branch of May we have brought you " Here came a pause and the chorus dropped into an uncertain murmur.
