C Ountrie men of England, who live at home with ease: And litle thinke what dangers, Are incident o'th Seas: Give eare unto the Saylor Who unto you will shew: His case, His case: How ere the winde doth blow. He that is a Saylor, Must have a valiant heart: For when he is upon the sea, He is not like to start: But must with noble courage, All dangers undergoe. Resolve, Resolve: How ere the wind doth blow. Our calling is laborious, And subject to much woe: But we must still contented be: With what falls to our share. Wee must not be faint hearted, Come tempest raine or snow: Nor shrinke: Nor shrinke: How ere the winde doth blowe. Sometimes one Neptunes bosome Our ship is tost with waves And every minite we expect, The sea must be our graves Sometimes on high she mounteth, Then falls againe as low: with waves: with waves: When stormie winds do blow.
Then with unfained prayers, As Christian duty bindes, Wee turne unto the Lord of hosts, With all our hearts and minds, To him we flee for succour, For he we surely know, can save: can save, How ere the wind doth blow. Then he who breaks the rage: The rough & blustrous seas, When his disciples were afraid, Will straght the stormes apease And give us cause to thanke On bended knees full low who saves: who saves, How ere the wind doth blow. Our enemies approaching, When wee on sea espie, Wee must resolve incontinent To fight, although we die, With noble resolution Wee must oppose our foe, in fight, in fight: How ere the wind doe blow. And when by Gods assistance, Our foes are put to'th foile, To animate our courages, Wee all have share o'th spoile, Our foes into the Ocean, Wee back to back do throw, to sinke, or swimme, How ere the wind doth blow.

T Hus wee gallant seamen, In midst of greatest dangers, Doe alwaies prove our valour, Wee never are no changers: But what soe ere betide us, Wee stoutly undergoe, resolv'd, resolv'd, How ere the wind doth blow. If fortune doe befriend us. In what we take in hand, Wee prove ourselves still generous When ere we come to land, Ther's few that shall out brave us, Though neere so great in show, wee spend, and lend, How ere the wind doth blow. We travell to the Indies, From them we bring som spice Here we buy rich Marchandise, At very little prize; And many wealthy prises, We conquer from the foe: In fight: In fight, How ere the wind doth blow. Into our native Country, With wealth we doe returne: And cheere our wives & children, Who for our absence mourne. Then doe we bravely flourish,
And where so ere we goe: We roare: We roare: How ere the wind doth blow. For when we have received, Our wages for our paynes: The Vintners & the Tapsters, By us have golden gaines. We call for liquor roundly, And pay before we goe: and sing: and drinke, How ere the wind doth blow. Wee bravely are respected, When we walke up & downe, For if wee meete good company, Wee care not for a crowne, Ther's none more free then saylers Where ere he come or goe, th'eile roare, o'th shore, How ere the winde doth blow. Then who would live in England And norish vice with ease, When hee that is in povertie, May riches get o'th' seas: Lets saile unto the Indies, Where golden grasse doth grow, to sea, to sea, How ere the wind doth blow.
