Line 14:
By ways no gaze could follow, a course unspoiled of Cook,<br />Per Fancy, fleetest in man, our titled berths we took<br />With maids of [[Beauty Equals Goodness|matchless beauty]] and [[Moses in the Bulrushes|parentage unguessed]],<br />And [[Good Shepherd|a Church of England parson]] for the Islands of the Blest.
We asked no social questions -- we pumped no hidden shame --<br />[[Out Giving Birth; Back in Two Minutes|We never talked obstetrics when the Little Stranger came:]]<br />We left the Lord in Heaven, we left the fiends in Hell.<br />We weren't exactly Yussufs, but -- Zuleika didn't tell.
[[Wish Fulfillment|No moral doubts assailed us, so when the port we neared]],<br />[[Laser-Guided Karma|The villain had his flogging at the gangway]], and [[Happy Ending|we cheered]].<br />'Twas fiddle in the foc's'le -- 'twas garlands on the mast,<br />For [[They Do|every one was married]], and I went at shore at last.
