The sailorman's child <br />And the girl of the witch-- <br />They can't be defiled <br />By touching pitch. <br /> <br />The sailorman's son <br />Had a ship for a nursery; <br />The other one <br />Was baptised by sorcery. <br /> <br />Although he's shipped <br />To the Persian Gulf, her <br />Body's been dipped <br />In burning sulphur.<br /><br />Elinor Morton Wylie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/curious-circumstance/
