The Neptune - Black Ball Line, (painting).

(Dated) (On reverse, a poem written on the canvas by the artist:) Sail on, old Monarch of the sea,/The port is near at hand./And many a heart beats quick for thee/And news of Old England.//Sail on and raise those drooping eyes/Of friends that wait for thee./Sail on, though foggy now the skies,/The land you soon will see.//Sail on, old hoary sea King, sail/The breeze is fair for thee./Soon friends will climb over thy rail/Old Monarch of the sea./F.
