  3. Ballad examples 'Twas Friday morn when we set sail, And we had not got far from land, When the Captain, he spied a lovely mermaid, With a comb and a glass in her hand.Oh the ocean waves may roll, And the stormy winds may blow, While we poor sailors go skipping aloft And the land lubbers lay down below, below, below And the land lubbers lay down below.Then up spoke the Captain of our gallant ship, And a jolly old Captain was he; "I have a wife in Salem town, But tonight a widow she will be."Then up spoke the Cook of our gallant ship, And a greasy old Cook was he; "I care more for my kettles and my pots, Than I do for the roaring of the sea." Then up spoke the Cabin-boy of our gallant ship, And a dirty little brat was he; "I have friends in Boston town That don't care a ha' penny for me."Then three times 'round went our gallant ship, And three times 'round went she, And the third time that she went 'round She sank to the bottom of the sea.

  4. ODE • An ode is a poem praising and glorifying a person, place, or thing.

Ode Example When you see lovely lightsOf greens, reds, and whitesYou know it is Christmas TimeWhen snow falls down from the skies Soft and thick it liesYou know it is Christmas TimeWhen you hear Christmas jinglesAnd your skin begins to tingleYou know it is Christmas TimeWhen you get rosy cheeksAnd children dash with squeals and shrieks You know it is Christmas TimeWhen the young and old sit in front of the fire and come togetherTo get away from the cold weather You know it is Christmas TimeWhen you warm up with your sweet heartUnable to keep apartYou know it is Christmas Time
