Cease, rude Boreas, blustering railer!
List, ye landsmen, all to me;
Messmates, hear a brother sailor
Sing the dangers of the sea.

Song ("The Storm") st. 1. Attributed to "Mr. Stevens" in The Muses Delight (Liverpool, 1754) p. 291. Attributed to William Falconer by Stanier Clarke. See also The Songs of England and Scotland, 2 vols. (1835) vol. 1, p. 231, and Naval Chronicle, vol. 2, p. 233, where the song is decidedly attributed to Falconer, and said "to have been long given with singular injustice to G. Al. Steevens."
