1. And the men of Eng-land sat in the dust and lamented:

2. Lo, we are sore smitten by Mattiah. For he smiteth us with googlies and
with chinamen and the strokes of our bats are as nought before him. Upon
the pad and upon the edge doth he smite us, and his cohorts lie in wait to
punish our iniquities and to vanquish us utterly.

3. For our wickets are sundered and our bails are upon the earth, and the
men of Slip and of Kee-per rejoice. Yea even they of Short-leg and the sons
of Sillimidof rejoice with an great rejoicing.

4. And hath not our great champion Nass-Ur been laid low by fever that he
cannot take up his bat and walk?

5. Thus they lamented with great sorrow and their cries were sore unto the
Lord.

6. And the Lord heard their cries, and He sent unto Galle an great tempest.
And the waters rose, and the men of Eng-land prayed that they might not
part.
