The crew was complete: it included a Boots—

⁠A maker of Bonnets and Hoods—

A Barrister, brought to arrange their disputes—

⁠And a Broker, to value their goods.

A Billiard-marker, whose skill was immense,

⁠Might perhaps have won more than his share—

But a Banker, engaged at enormous expense,

⁠Had the whole of their cash in his care.

There was also a Beaver, that paced on the deck,

⁠Or would sit making lace in the bow:

And had often (the Bellman said) saved them from wreck,

⁠Though none of the sailors knew how.
