COme all you brave gallants, whom honour inspires, And valour inflames with true generous fires, If e're you intend for to purchase renown And by sinking the French, raise the English King's crown: Now, now, is your time for to make a discent, Agreed to by both your King and Parliament.
Then raise up our spirits who boast of your blood, And your titles to families great, would make good By your actions now show that it is all your aim By worth and by merit true honour to claim; Go conquer that Monarch who vainly did boast, 'Twas the English at last that should pay for the roast,
'Tis by your neglect the occasion is given, That your country is yet of that honour bereaven; In glory your ancestors all to outdo, And France in its greatest of power to subdue: Who then can refuse an invasion to make, Would ennable the English, and make the French quake? Then leave off your lolling in the ladies laps, Where nought's to be gain'd but disgraces or claps, And that's all the sum, which with pain you can catch, By staying at home, when abroad you may snatch Bright honour with ease, if o're seas you do go And bravely assault your proud Gallican foe. Let Bacchus no more with his full brimming bowls In his sottish lees drown the generous souls; Your country now calls you unto those alarms Which far do trancend all your punks and wines charms The year sixteen hundred ninety and three, Your names to enternise doth justly agree. 'Tis Edward the Black Prince, and Henry doth call, Brave Talbot and Clifford, stout Nevill and all, 'Tis Crescy and Poiters, nay, Ag-in-court too, That know if you will you may all them outdo, Why will you be then thus in sluggishness lost, When bravely attempting you may gain the post? You have a stout King which you cannot but own, If you do but follow will bravely lead on; All that went before him he far doth exceed; He that made the Irish, will make the French bleed; And as in the first he did France overthrow, In the latter he'll give the Great Lewis a blow. Now if you have more than the heart of a hen, What your ancestors have done you may do agen: Then play the man briskly, let it not be said, That Lewis or James e're can make you afraid, Let them mumble and grumble, you may tread such a dance, As bravely shall lead to the conquest of France.
FINIS.
