First sentence of The sailor's adieu: "The topsails shiver in the wind, The ship she casts to sea; But yet my soul, my heart, my mind, Are, Mary, moor'd with thee: For though they sailor's bound afar, Still love shall be his leading star."
First sentence of Tom Bowling: "Here, a sheer hulk, lies poor Tom Bowling The darling of our crew; No more he'll hear the tempest howling, For death hath broach'd him too."
First sentence of True courage: "Why what's that to you if my eyes I'm wiping A tear is a pleasure, d'ye see, in its way, 'Tis nonsense for trifles, I own, to be piping, But they that ha'n't pity--why I pities they."
First sentence of The sea boy: "To England's towers of oak farewell, No more for me shall be unfurl'd The canvas in the gale to swell, The ocean is no more my world; Yet there life's earliest years I fearless pass'd A sea-boy on the high and giddy mast."
