- On a bright english day with the tempers running
hot,
- The Captain stood his ground though his threats would
come to nought.
- Our Edmund took the watch, standing tall upon the
deck,
- That the fates would soon decree to be a flaming
seabourne wreck.
-
- Silent rose the smoke above the caracks's castle

- The source of flames a mystry or so our Edmund
swore
- Silent too the crew as they abandoned ship to
fate,
- All save the captain fled alas the head count came to
late.

strife
- But a burned out hull, beneath the waves went the
ship,
- From thense came his name the pilot Edmund
Blackenship.
