NOw noble brave Boys, let the sweet Trumpet sound, While Seamen with Trophies of honor are Crown'd; For gracious King William they'll fight till they dye, And scorn from the face of a Tory to flye; Sir brave Cloudesly-Shovell sail'd to Dublin-Bay; And brought the brave Pellican-Frigat away. Old James and his Teagues they did stand and behold Our noble Commander couragious and bold, Who ventur'd just close to the banks of their shore,
And laid the proud Enemy sprawling in gore: With Fire and Sword, Boys, we enter'd the Bay, And brought the brave Pellican-Frigat away. Our noble Commander first enter'd aboard On the Monmouth-Yacht, this did courage afford To all the brave Sailors of Protestant pride, Who vow'd they wou'd venture to dye by his side; Then crossing the Bar, they enter'd the Bay, And brought the brave Pellican-Frigat away.
The Tory-Commander did fire amain, While we did salute him with Bullets again, Till twenty or more of his Rebells were kill'd, Now when he our valour and courage beheld, He straight cut his Cable to flye from the Fray, But we brought the brave Pellican Frigat away. The Protestants Goods they were sending for France, By us they were stopt, ay, and taken by chance; Which made the poor French-men to swear, fret & frown To see our brave Seamen of fame and renown, With what resolution our Guns they did play, When we brought the brave Pellican-Frigat away. The Tories came down with their Foot and their Horse, And with their old Master lamented his loss And into the Water a Party did ride, Discharging their Pistols against our Ships sid[e], But like Men of Courage our Guns we did p[ray], And brought the brave Pellican-Frigat away. You damn'd English Dogs, one proud Monsieur did cry, But straight at his Horse we a Bullet let flye; He was in a rage for to find such salutes, That straight he was forc'd to shake off his Jack-Boots; Then after the Rebels our Guns we did play, And brought the brave Pellican-Frigat away. But here is one thing that is worthy of note, Two Protestant-Boys they did wade to our Boat; We straight took them in, and their Lives we did save, An account of the fears of the Rebels they gave; Our Streamers we spread, and our Flags did display, And brought the brave Pellican-Frigat away. This is but a Rellish and taste of their Doom, Brave Boys we will down with the Bullworks of Rome, The Rebels in France they may put their whole trust, While we all their Glory lay low in the dust: With Fire and Sword, Boys, we'l enter the Fray, King William's great Army shall carry the Day.
