Francis Drake he shat himself to death
while they were putting him in his armour,
and no wonder they then shut him in a lead coffin
and threw overboard into the depths; no
wine casket for him like Nelson,
no boiling of flesh like Henry V,
not even a heart cut out of his chest,
just the deep blue sea and the devil
rising in a wave to take his own.
