"The Ballad of Captain Avery" was a poem written by Henry Avery. It went:
- They stripped the rings
- From their fingers
- And the flesh
- From their bones
- They sent those poor sailors
- Down to Davy Jones
- He stripped the rings from their fingers
- And the flesh from their bones
- He sent those fine Moghuls
- Down to Davy Jones
- In pursuit of their riches
- He voyaged in the Fancy
- A once noble captain
- On a quest very chancy
