Summary

Description
English: Sternhold and Hopkins at Sea or a Stave out of Time

SUMMARY: Caricature featuring Admiral Lord James Gambier and Lord Thomas Cochrane during the Battle of Basque Roads in 1809.
Gambier: "Moab my wash pot is, my shoe, o'er Edom I will throw."
Sailor: "Your shoe won't do for the French Fleet. I think we had better throw some shells Your Honor."
Cochrane: "Why Admiral, Damn their Eyes they'l escape if we don't make haste."
Chaplain: "Oh the wicked Dog he has put us quite out, he is insensible of the beauties of Divine Poetry."

Discarded on the cabin floor lies Gambier's telescope, log book and a batch of Congreve rockets. On his desk is a large edition of a Sternhold and Hopkins psalm book, and on the bulkhead a map of the Holy Land.
Français : Sternhold and Hopkins en mer, ou un verset au mauvais moment
Gambier : parodie du psaume 60 (59) : « Moab est le bassin où je me lave ! / sur Édom, je jette ma sandale »
Marin : « Votre chaussure ne fera rien à la flotte française. Je crois qu'on ferait mieux de leur lancer quelques boulets, votre Honneur »
Cochrane : « Pourquoi, Amiral ? Ces maudits vont s'échapper si on ne se dépêche pas. »
Chapelain : « Oh, le méchant chien, il est insensible à la beauté de la Poésie Divine ».
Sur le sol, aux pieds de Gambier, se trouvent des fusées Congreve inusitées et sur la table un exemplaire des psaumes de Sternhold et Hopkins.
