Description: | Medium includes pen and ink. The illustrated lyrics are the start of a song by Charles Dibdin the Elder (d. 1814) in which Barny Buntline reverses the old saw of 'worse things happening to sailors at sea', by recounting the perils of living on land and ending with the conclusion; 'Then thank the Lord that you and I are sailors!'. Its title is, as I recall [TBC], 'The Sailor's Consolation'. [PvdM 3/09]
