Someone has scrawled the lyrics to a traditional sailor shanty on this ragged scrap of paper.

"It is a fine three-master thin like a bird.

Heave-ho, Aim'Spirente!

Of Captain Parfitto, 's never said a hard word,

As we sail our troubles away.

Hold fast the helm, hold fast the wind.

Heave-ho, Aim'Spirente!

Ondra's grace, or we'll all be skinned

As we sail down Deadfire way

We've gone away long, left our loves behind.

Heave-ho, Aim'Spirente!

It caused me a sorrow most unkind.

While crossing down Deadfire way

They say in Deadfire the luminous grows

Heave-ho, Aim'Spirente!

And so that's where our brave ship goes,

To make our fortunes one day.

The next day on sail we back with cheers,

Heave-ho, Aim'Spirente!

On Spirento fair, we'll see our dears

And shower them with two months' pay!

Hold fast the course, hold fast the waves

Heave-ho, Aim'Spirente!

If we don't wind up in salty graves

We'll come back to Spirento someday!

It is a fine three-master thin like a bird.

Heave-ho, Aim'Spirente!

Of Captain Parfitto, 's never said a hard word,

As we sail our troubles away."
