| QUOTATION: | At the piping of all hands, When the judgment-signal s spread When the islands and the lands And the seas give up their dead, And the South and North shall come; When the sinner is dismayed, And the just man is afraid, Then Heaven be thy aid, Poor Tom. |
| ATTRIBUTION: | Lament for Long Tom. |
