Do they growl and the work be retarded? It is ill, speak, whatever their rank,' The half-loaded gun also shouteth, But can she pierce armour with blank? Doth the funnels make war with the paintwork? Do the decks to the cannon complain? Nay, they know that some soap or a scraper Unites them as brothers again. So ye, being Heads of Departments, Do your growl with a smile on your lip, Lest ye strive and in anger be parted, And lessen themight of your ship. Dost think in a moment of anger, 'Tis well with thy seniors to fight? They prosper, who burn in the morning, The letters they wrote over-night. For some there be, shelved and forgotten, With nothing to thank for their fate, Save that fan a half-sheet of foolscapj, Which a fool had the honor to state-. Dost deem that thy vessel needs gilding, And the dockyard forebear to supplyg Place thy hand in thy pocket and gild her, There be those who have risen thereby. If the fairway be crowded with shipping, Beating homeward the harbour to win, It is meet that, lest any should sufer, The steamer pass cautiously in. So thou, when thou nearest promotion, A nd the peak that is gilded is nigh, Give heed to the words and thine seniors, Lest others be wearied thereby. It is ill for the winners to worry, Take thy fate as it comes with a smile, And when thou art safe in the harbour They will envy, but may not revile. Uncharted the rocks that surround thee, Take heed that the channels thou learn, Lest thy name serve to buoy for another That shoal, the Court-Martial Return. Though Armour, the belt that protects her, The ship bears the scar on her side: It is well if the court acquit thee: It were best thou hadst never been tried Now these are the Laws of the Navy, Unwritten and varied they be,' And he that is wise will observe them, Going down in his ship to the sea. As the wave rises clear to the hawse pipe, ' Washes aft and is lost in the wake, So shall ye drop astern, all unheeded, Such time as the law ye forsake. Nxow these are the Laws of the Navy And many and mighty are they. But the hull and the deck and the keel And the truck of the law is-OBEY.
