“The curse of hell upon the sleek upstart
That got the Captain finally on his back
And took the red red vitals of his heart
And made the kites to whet their beaks clack clack.”

Dragging his infected wound homeward
To sit tonight with the warm children
Naming the pretty kings of France.”

Honor among thieves Honor between lovers.
O such a little word is Honor, they feel!
But the grey word is between them cold as steel.”
