鹅妈妈童谣 27 I Saw A Ship A-Sailling

I saw a ship a-sailing,
A-sailing on the sea.
And, oh, but it was laden¹
With pretty things for thee.
There were comfits in the cabin,
And apples in the hold;
The sails were made of silk
And the masts were all of gold.
The four-and-twenty sailors
That stood between the decks,
Were four-and-twenty white mice
With chains about their necks.
The captain was a duck
With a packet on his back,
The captain said, "Quack²! Quack!"
