"What is that, o'er yonder?

Past the great blue, take a gander!"

"Why, tis a wartorn girl.

She hold no riches, only a pearl."

"Should we go, and rescue her?

She looks as though her's is a worse turn."

"Nay, turn thou not.

For females, battles aren't fought."

Although she was in need,

The men's greed.

Allowed them not to turn for this girl

Not for her hope, not even for her pearl.
