“The night was thick and hazy
When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
And I think the water downed ‘em;
For they never, never found ‘em,
And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.”

“The waste of plenty is the resource of scarcity.”
—Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
