Classic Poem

The translatoure

Gentyll maryners on a boune vyage
Hoyse vp the sayle / and let god stere
In the bonaue n ture maki n g your passage
It is full see / the wether fayre and clere
The nepetydes shal you nothyng dere
A see borde mates S. george to borow
Mary and John / ye shal not nede to fere
But w i t h this boke / to go sauf thorow.
