Shakespeare V the Beatles, For Contest

With all respect to the Beatles classic, behold my Bardish version of 'Yellow Submarine'

O’er the hill whence yelped was I
bode a fellow flote for gain
mark’d we of discourses thence
yonder country of sunken ships

Put to sea beyond yon sun
happenstanced ‘pon waters green
stayed for ’ere neath briny there
within ochre sunken ship

Refrain :

Bide we all neath yon ochre sunken ship
ochre sunken ship, ochre sunken ship
bide we all neath yon ochre sunken ship
ochre sunken ship, ochre sunken ship

‘ere beside stay’d inwards all
and more company ne’er afar
‘ere the Minstrels playeth on
within ochre sunken ship

repeat refrain to fade ...
