    Till taught by pain,
    Men really know not what good water's worth;
    If you had been in Turkey or in Spain,
    Or with a famish'd boat's-crew had your berth,
    Or in the desert heard the camel's bell,
    You'd wish yourself where Truth is--in a well.

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any read more

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.

That ever this should be!
Yes, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.

Pure water is the best of gifts that man to man can bring,
But who am I that I should have the best of anything?

Whisky, or wine, or even beer is good enough for me.
