SInce the Frenchmem durst come o'er, To brave us on the English shoar, The Thundring Cannons make them pay, And rue that e'er they saw the day. In Smoak and Fire their Fortunes drown'd, And Heaven their Plots does quite confound; In vain the Tyrants seek to fright Our English Courage that dares fight.
Lords of the Ocean we will be, In spite of Lewis Cruelty; The Plague that so long vext the World, Shall by our Thunder down be hurl'd. Ambition in the briney Wave, By English Valour has its grave; In vain our Foes do Fight, in vain, When Heaven our Cause it does maintain.
Bold Monsieur shall truckle under Brittish and the Belgick Thunder; The bloody Fight now makes them rue That ever near our Coast they drew. The Plots they thought to meet with here, Discover'd e're their comming were; And instead of Landing now, To Plunder us, and bring us low. Sword and Flames the Dastards find, And think devouring Seas too kind; To save them from the lowder Fire, That strives to pay them their due hire. For Battered by our Cannons they Seek to shift and run away: And down the Main Mast goes with speed, A Broad-side next the Fates decreed To Sink the Glory of their Fleet, Whilst here the Flaming Vessels meet The daring Frenchmen, and o'erthrow The Pride of our Insulting Foe.
The Seas and Fire they do contend, Which first of all shall be their end: Blew Neptune in his watery Waves, Prepares them everlasting Graves. Blood the Ocean's face does dye, Whilst Bullets like to Hail do flye; And they for Quarters cry in vain, 'Tis now too late for to complain: No mercy to a Cruel Foe The English or the Dutch will show; But What the Bullets will afford, In Complements, when Board, and Board. The True Religion is the Stke, Which Tyrant Rome now void wou'd make: Our Lives for its protection are Accounted never, never dear. Then God Protect our Noble King, And all his Foes to ruine bring; And as we now our Foes o're come, So let us Triumph over Rome.
