And shillings and sixpences there had been seen , AH-N-D SH-IH-L-IH-NG-Z AH-N-D S-IH-K-S-P-EH-N-S-Z DH-EH-R HH-AE-D B-IH-N S-IY-N
And on it was written , in characters meet , AH-N-D AA-N IH-T W-AA-Z R-IH-T-AH-N IH-N K-AE-R-IH-K-T-ER-Z M-IY-T
" For Captain Stargazer -- the tool of De Witt . " F-AO-R K-AE-P-T-AH-N S-T-AA-R-G-EY-Z-ER DH-AH T-UW-L AH-V D-IY W-IH-T

I'd publish this day ev'ry word he had said : AY-D P-AH-B-L-IH-SH DH-IH-S D-EY EH-V-R-IY W-ER-D HH-IY HH-AE-D S-EH-D
Nor would I one word from his gib'rish retrench ; N-AO-R W-UH-D AY W-AH-N W-ER-D F-R-AH-M HH-IH-Z G-IH-B-R-IH-SH R-IY-T-R-EH-N-CH

At which growing angry -- I bade him Adieu , AE-T W-IH-CH G-R-OW-IH-NG AE-NG-G-R-IY AY B-EY-D HH-IH-M AH-D-UW
And wrote just at day light , this VISION for you . AH-N-D R-OW-T JH-AH-S-T AE-T D-EY L-AY-T DH-IH-S V-IH-ZH-AH-N F-AO-R Y-UW
