TARPORLEY HUNT MEETING 



V 



We need not Archimedes with his screw on board 



the Swan, 

 The screw that draws the cork, boys, is the screw 



that drives us on, 

 And should we be becalm'd, boys, while giving chase 



to care. 

 When the brimming bowl is heated we have steam 



in plenty there. 



Chorus. 



VI 



No rocks have we to split on, no foes have we to 

 fight. 



No dangers to alarm us, while we keep the reckon- 

 ing right ; 



We fling the gold about, boys, though we never 

 heave the lead. 



And long as we can raise the wind our course is 

 straight a-head. 



Chorus. 



VII 



The index of our compass is the bottle that we 



trowl. 

 To the chair again revolving like the needle to the 



pole ; 

 The motto on our glasses is to us a fixed star. 

 We know while we can see it, boys, exactly where 



we are. 



Chorus.
