    The Viking kissed me when we met,

  • Jumping from the boat he sailed in;
  • Time, you thief, who love to get
  • Sweets into your hoard, put that in:

  • Say I'm weary, say I'm sad,

  • Say that health and wealth have missed me,
  • Say I'm growing old, but add,
  • The Viking Kissed me.

  • My Boat to Me a Kingdom Is

  • (with thanks to Sir Edward Dyer)

  • My boat to me a kingdom is,

  • Such present joys it gives to me,
  • That it excels all other ships
  • That sail upon the great, broad sea.
  • When others have much wealth and gold
  • And I'll take all my boat can hold.

  • Some have titles, some have wit,

  • Somehave beauty, some have wealth,
  • Good for them to have such spirit!
  • May they rebuild their town in health
  • After I come to fill my boat
  • With so much stuff it scarce will float.
