Description: | inscription, enamelling (overglaze), within cartouche, when first I was a foremost man
I often did pretend-
That if e'er 'got promoted
I would be a seamans friend-
Then in a little time I was
Promoted to a mate-
But I then like all others
soon forgot my former state-
And when I became a Captain
I thought myself a King-
And very soon I did forger
The foremast man I'd been.
