Cordial advice, to all rash young men, who think to advance their decaying fortunes by navigation, shewing the many dangers and hardships that sailors indure : All you whose rambling thoughts are bent to please themselves by sailing on the briny seas : how much you are mistaken, here you'll see, what dangers there, and what their hardships be : when thundring storms with testy neptune rage, seas, winds and fire, at once with ship[p]ingage : besides the small allowance [?] what stripes and labour [?] to bear : these weigh'd together and considered well, you need no more, although I worse could tell / to the tune of, I'll no more to Greenland sail, &c.
