I Sing not the Battle (so Fam'd) of Lepanto, Nor what the Turks got by the Siege of Otranto, Nor the Spanish Armada so brave and gallanto Which no body can deny. Nor how they were bang'd by Invincible Drake, Nor the Courage and Conduct of Excellent Blake, Nor of Men that Fought bravely when all was at Stake Which, etc. But a sort of Sea-Fight 'tween the French & Hollander, Where th' English had joyn'd, but that their Comm--der In Chief, wou'd not be a with- but a by-stander Which, etc. The Dutch to the Enemy boldly drew near, But th' Adm-----ral o'th English more wisely did steer, For he thought it was safer to keep in the Rear Which, etc. Grafton ('twas said) came couragiously in, And by mauling the French great honour did win, But Torr' was resolv'd to sleep in a whole Skin Which, etc. Had each Ship and its Captain but been Independant, They'd certainly made a more glorious end on't, Then Commanded by such a stour superintendant Which, etc. Tyrrel and Dorrel did boldly stand to 'em, (Thinking to beat the French and to undo 'em,) But th Adm-----l only came thither to view 'em Which, etc. And though the French Fleet was so little esteem'd, And their Courage and Conduct despisable deem'd, To wise Herb----t they plainly Invincible seem'd Which. etc.
Some Ships too Fool-hardy did headlong engage, Which put the Stout Adm------l in such a rage, That nought but a W------ could his passion asswage Which, etc. When the Shot from the Enemy flying at random Slew the stout Hero's Dog, that could no way withstand 'em, His Bit----s desired their Master to land 'em Which, etc. 'Twould make a Man, much more a Woman, agast Sir, To see a Dog kill'd twixt the Leggs of his Master, Who much more desrv'd such a dismal disaster Which, etc. Some say that he wanted both Powder and Ball, Be that true or false, it was certainly all One to him, whose Courage was so very small Which etc. The Dutch at the Enemy bravely did Fire all, Tho' Art--- ur commanded the Fleet to retire all, For which if he be'nt H------g'd we must shou'd Admire-all Which, etc. Though the French for a time may bluster and boast Of the Honour they won, by T------n lost, Their Courage will cool when our Fleet's on their Coast Which, etc. Not One Town of theirs, nor Two, Three nor Four Shall appease for the pranks they play'd on our Stoar, We have Admirals now that will pay off the Score Which, etc.
