The Committee vote medals and rewards to those who distinguish themselves in saving life from shipwreck. Some years since, a member of Lloyd's drew from the books the following lines of names contained therein:-- "A Black and a White, with a Brown and a Green, And also a Gray at Lloyd's room may be seen; With Parson and Clark, then a Bishop and Pryor, And Water, how Strange adding fuel to fire; While, at the same time, 'twill sure pass belief, There's a Winter, a Garland, Furze, Bud, and a Leaf; With Freshfield, and Greenhill, Lovegrove, and a Dale; Though there's never a Breeze, there's always a Gale. No music is there, though a Whistler and Harper; There's a Blunt and a Sharp, many flats, but no sharper. There's a Danniell, a Samuel, a Sampson, an Abell; The first and the last write at the same table. Then there's Virtue and Faith there, with Wylie and Rasch, Disagreeing elsewhere, yet at Lloyd's never clash, There's a Long and a Short, Small, Little, and Fatt, With one Robert Dewar, who ne'er wears his hat: No drinking goes on, though there's Porter and Sack, Lots of Scotchmen there are, beginning with Mac; Macdonald, to wit, Macintosh and McGhie, McFarquhar, McKenzie, McAndrew, Mackie. An evangelized Jew, and an infidel Quaker; There's a Bunn and a Pye, with a Cook and a Baker, Though no Tradesmen or Shopmen are found, yet herewith Is a Taylor, a Saddler, a Paynter, a Smyth; Also Butler and Chapman, with Butter and Glover, Come up to Lloyd's room their bad risks to cover. Fox, Shepherd, Hart, Buck, likewise come every day; And though many an ass, there is only one Bray. There is a Mill and Miller, A-dam and a Poole, A Constable, Sheriff, a Law, and a Rule. There's a Newman, a Niemann, a Redman, a Pitman, Now to rhyme with the last, there is no other fit man. These, with Young, Cheap, and Lent, Luckie, Hastie, and Slow, With dear Mr. Allnutt, Allfrey, and Auldjo, Are all the queer names that at Lloyd's I can show."
