Fifteen Men On The Dead Man's Chest

"Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest—
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Drink and the devil had done for the rest—
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!”

Treasure Island, 1883
Robert Louis Stevenson (November 13, 1850 – December 3, 1894)

One of my favorite childhood books!
