Ignorant bunch of scallywags...

victims she's consumed overboard were tossed

I starts me life as pirate, 
A grommet before age twelve,
Not an ordinary bandit,
High sea adventures me delve.

With a Letter of Marque in me han’
And the Commodore for me pa!

Pistol, daggers, and doubloon among things inside the sea-chest

Soon finding out they could just conspire
Against their Emperor and Umpire
