15. The boy Jones sent to sea.

Jones, you'll be tossed at sea, as I've a notion;

But the dread perils of the ocean, O shun!

Winds, when the fair Aurora dawns, O roar

Not in your might till Jones has gone ashore;

Waters, swell not yon yeasty billows high,

Till that young swell's on land, and very dry;

For though his name _is_ Jones, and though he did

Enter the palace, and not touch the knocker,

There is no reason right why Jones's kid

Should be consign'd to Davy Jones's locker.
