GEntlemen, if you will heare Noble tidings from Argeir, [of] our worthy and our famous English Fleete, [Le]nd your eares a while to me, [An]d you shall heare how gallantly, our royall Navy with the Turkes did meete, [Fi]rst, you must understand, [?]ovided from faire England, our well approved Men of Warre did goe, [?] [?]avely manag'd to the Sea, [?] their lusty bold array, the valiant hearts of Englishmen to shew. [Al]ong the coasts of Germany, [?] Portugall and Barbary, [?]r through the Straites, into the Turkish land, [?]r English Navy sayled on, [?]t found no prize to worke upon, nor any Ships that durst against them stand. [Un]till that in November, [As] wee may well remember, we did arrive and lie before Argeir; [?] [w]hilst we there at Anchor lay, [C]arefull visions on the Sea, did from a black and bloody Moone appeare. [?]e Moone so wanne and dusky, [W]hich is the armes of Turky, [t]here suffered such a black eclipsed vale, [W]ith which the face of all the Sky, [W]as darkned over sodainly, with pitchy clouds all bloody, black, and pale.
This, in the Towne of Argeir, Rumor'd out a sudden feare amongst the Turkes to see so strange a sight: As though this black Ecclipse did show, To that Towne some following woe, so fearfull shew'd the darkned Moone that night. But when the Sunnes adorning Gave light unto the Morning, a Pinnesse came unto our English Fleete, To know the cause and reason why They did so neere at Anchor lye, whom they with courtesie did kindly greete. And said, they lay for shelter There, under winde and weather, and therupon their Flags of truce hung forth: Which caus'd some Bashawes come aboord, And to Lord Generall afford such needful things as was to the much worth And to prevent all dangers, Thy proved friendly strangers, and brought aboord some forty fatted sheepe, Lyons, Leopards, and such things, As are presents fit for Kings, themselves in peace and safety to keepe. Young Apes, with Cat-a-mountaines, Fresh water from their Fountaines, with Ruske in barrels, & such Turkish foode, As Hogsheads fild with wine and Beere With such like things thy brought in there, to save their Towne, and doe our Navy good.

WHere upon Lord Generall With his English Captaines all, [Re]quited them with thankes & great goodwill: [?]t would he not depart away, [?]t neere unto them floting lay, which made the Towne to fear some following ill. [W]hich to prevent, it seemed, [Th]ey franke and free redeemed [Su]ch Gally-slaves as were of Christians there. [Es]pecially the meaner sort, [?]t for them of greater port, they kept them close in Caves we knew not where. [?]hus we there remained, [?]d from this bandage gained our poore distressed friends of Christendome; [?]r life and liberty so sweete, [?]vers swam unto our Fleete, [&] from the Towne in dangers deed did come. [?]d being thus provided, [?]God had us well guided, we sailed from Argeir with lofty wind; [Fr]om thence we tooke our ready way, [T]owards the coasts of Alcootha, where we a sudden battell soone did finde. [No]t farre from us we spyed, [?]d perfectly descryed a Fleete of Turkish Ships upon the Sea, [Pr]epared for a lusty fight, [?]mag'd all with men of might, the which befell upon last Christmas day. [W]hereat our noble Generall, [?] his Men of Warre did call with lusty spirit and with manly grace:
Every Captaine valiantly, Vow'd with him to live and dye, resolving all true honour to embrace[.] To the battel first of all Went our noble Admirall, and gave an onset to this famous figh[t] Every Ship in order then, Plaid the parts of Englishmen, whom death nor danger never can aff[right.] The bloudy Moone of Turky, Did flourish out most proudly, in hope to win the glory of the day: But the Lyon of our Land, With the Unicorne did stand, the victory to win and make them flye[.] All the day from Morning, Untill the Sunnes down-setting, our Cannons sung the roaring songs o[f war] All the Sea was on a flame, Burning bullets in the same, e'ne like a tempest rattled in the ayre. At last the day grew darkned, And dusky night approched, whereat thk fearfull Turkes did make And left unto our Englishmen, The golden prize of honour then, which was the worthy conquest of the d[?] And thus with noble victory, Sailed we on gallantly, by Alegant, to the Ile of Malegoe, Whereas our purpose is to stay, And furnish forth in good array, our Ships againe like service for to sho[w.] For now we understand Marchant men of England, preparing are to victuall us againe, Our tackling and our furniture, To make us able to indure the daily dangers of the Ocean maine. In which our good proceeding, God send us happy speeding, that we may come with famous honour h[ome] So shall we peace and plenty bring Unto our Country and our King, with joy and comfort to all Christendom[.]
