LET Country, City, Court, and Town, now Eccho with Heavenly shouts of joy; The French we've beaten, the Day's our own, they cannot our Happiness now annoy; Lost Honour resolving to renew, our Cannons we play'd like claps of Thunder; And still as we fir'd through and through, their Men of War we tore in 'sunder; 'Sunder, sunder, Boys we tore asunder, they from our Fury could not scowre, We let them know, that a Foe should not go without a Badge of Brittish Power. Stout Admiral Russel with the rest, brave [n]oble Commanders stout and bold,
He gave them to know we wa'n't in Jest; their Courage was never Chill'd nor Cold: Like Grissel who stood to see fair play, and had not the Courage and Heart to venture; We valiantly fought and won the Day, and charg'd France with the highest Center; Center, center, bravely did we venture, and many of their Ships did fire, And while they flame, did proclaim Brittain's Fame; the rest did by their light retire. With Fire we after them did Sale, resolving still to maintain the Fight; With thundring shot like showres of Hale, we batter'd them till the gloomy Night;
Next day fell on afresh again, true English Courage is not wasted; We batter'd and sunk them in the Main, where they a bitter Portion tasted, Tasted[,] tasted, and their Forces wasted, this is a dark and dismal story For them to bring to old Lewis their King, but we have blasted all their Glory. They threatn'd this Nation to invade, and did in our very Harbours ride, Till conquering Courage we display'd, by which we've baffl'd all their Pride; Brave Boys we've given them the rout, some thousands are slain as well as wounded, Their shattered Vessels float about, and many in the deep lies drowned, Drownded, drownded, thus with sorrows Wounded, it is a suddain strange Disaster, For to relate to Lewis the Great, their most ambitious Tyrant Master. An Army of Teagues and Rapparees, together with Scotch and French also; He thought to have Landed here with ease, but [?] a cold North-East Wind did blow; Which blasted the great Design in Hand, and now we have swing'd them on the Ocean, [?] [?]ver will trespass on this Land, [?] [d]istraction, or Commotion; Le[wis,] Lew[is]; let him know, Great William will not be long e'er he draws near him, With an Armed Hoast, which will rule the Roast; thus will he have just Cause to fear him. In this great Design we find them crost besides they are beaten on the Main, The best Men of War they have quite lost, and several thousand Seamen slain; Instead of their being Lord of all, with Plots which their Friends had long been brewing Behold we have seen their present fall, and may in time their utter ruine, Ruine, ruine, 'tho' these Plots are brewing, now may they wish they'd ne'er come hither; Our Jacobites here, and their huffing Mounsleue, may all hang down their Heads together.
