Subject: Happy! - June 4
From: Abby Sale
The Antelope sailed on June 4th
Oh the year was seventeen seventy eight
I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
A letter of marque came from the King
To the scummiest vessel I've ever seen.
On the King's birthday we put to sea.
I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!
We were ninety-one days to Montego bay,
Pumping like madmen all the way.
"Barrett's Privateers," Stan Rogers
Happy Birthday
George III (1760-1820)
Born 6/4/1738
(died insane 1/29/1820)
