William Scoresby
Scientist clergyman and explorer
He studied the arctic flora and fauna
In those days when they hunted the whale
To the coast of Greenland he would sail
Born in seventeen eighty nine
His Torquay memorial is so fine
A compass dividers and a bible
For a life that was never idle
Scientist clergyman and a whaler
He sought knowledge as a sailor
The coast of Greenland he surveyed
Whilst still pursuing his fisherman trade
Born in seventeen eighty nine
His Torquay memorial is so fine
A compass dividers and a bible
For a life that was never idle
So sad when his first wife died
To study divinity he did decide
His final years were in Torquay
A clever man was William Scoresby
Scientist clergyman and a whaler
He sought knowledge as a sailor
The coast of Greenland he surveyed
Whilst still pursuing his fisherman trade
He studied the arctic flora and fauna
In those days when they hunted the whale
To the coast of Greenland he would sail
Born in seventeen eighty nine
His Torquay memorial is so fine
A compass dividers and a bible
For a life that was never idle
Scientist clergyman and a whaler
He sought knowledge as a sailor
The coast of Greenland he surveyed
Whilst still pursuing his fisherman trade
Born in seventeen eighty nine
His Torquay memorial is so fine
A compass dividers and a bible
For a life that was never idle
So sad when his first wife died
To study divinity he did decide
His final years were in Torquay
A clever man was William Scoresby
Scientist clergyman and a whaler
He sought knowledge as a sailor
The coast of Greenland he surveyed
Whilst still pursuing his fisherman trade
