And raked up atrocity stories,
To bring all their blood to the boil.
They landed one morning at Weymouth,
And waited for fight to begin,
While their foe, Ethelred the Unready,
Found his army and got it fell in.

Changed heads, so the history book states,
From Ethelred's seven-and-a-quarter,

Were picked up by the schooner "Waterbird" as towards her they did float,
And landed at Weymouth, and made all right
