2. Aye, thou shalt not carve any image of anything tha' may happen in the captain's quarters (argh, but thou can whittle and spit as ye like)
3. Beist thou loyal to thy shipmates or ye'll be made to walk the plank.
4. If thee think to call me by name unless thy purpose is to worship or alert about enemy ships in gun range, ye'll be made to walk the plank.
5. Aye on the seventh day, ye'll do no wenchin' or wrenchin'. If ye shirk yer duties all week, ye'll be made to walk the plank, but if ye perform duties on the seventh day, ye'll be made to wear a frock.
