Few but have heard of famous Captain Kidd,
He who for plunder sailed upon the sea;
Of all the many wicked acts he did,
The which to tell were ill-befitting me;
And how, at last, he ‘hanged upon a tree,’
When Justice overtook him in his crimes;
And in a song gained immortality;—
His name I mention in my marvelous rhymes;
I sing of ancient men, a tale of olden times.
