See it not "Beautiful Mermaid,'' for it is the heavy rain
That hound thee ebb, from the tor down the plain
Escorted with mourners not, but clouds of sprain
For I foresaw that,thou shalt not feel any somber pain
From the dangers of lethal weapons,if thou canst not refrain
Ye ought to intern thy maidenhead in jail, for it detain
Likewise the master did to his hungry
dog as animal thing and it's chain
God foreordained that, thee wouldst one day
be not an adulterer either of a woo or swain
God's will and thy deeds shalt be twain
Till doomsday, thou shalt be taken to a certain cottage to dwell
Fear it not ''Beautiful Mermaid,'' for it is the place for thee to spell
Where God hath the steerage of reward for thee as a swell
O "Beautiful Mermaid,'' referring to the ringing of the bell
Hear it not ''Beautiful Mermaid'' for it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven or to hell.
