I Sing ye a Ballad, as round me ye stand, Which is for the Honour of Old England : Old England, Old England ; Which is for the Honour of Old England . In the Month of May , the Year Ninety two , The English-man did his Old Valour show. Old England, Old England, etc. We sent out our Scouts the Foe to descry, When Cape de Hague we were sailing by. Old England , etc. This was a good Omen, we now understand, And Lewis hates Hague , by Sea as by Land. Old England , etc. But in our Channel the Battel was fought, And so the French Fleet in a Net was caught, Net was caught, Net was caught ; And so the French Fleet in a Net was caught. Yet Monsieur expecting that all was his own, On Ambrall Russell did boldly bear down. Old England , etc. He gave a [Broad ]Side , which was kindly took, And then the Britannia in Thunder spoke, Thunder spoke, Thunder spoke, And then the Britannia in Thunder spoke. Till in Musquet shot, she fires no Gun; In Complement then salutes the French Sun . Old England , etc. And warms her Sides so, that for all her Might, She fairly Tows off, and bids us Good night. Old England , etc. Thus have we been taught in a Tale or Old Song , French Fury was never known to last long. Old England , etc. When Tourville had given the Signal to flye, His Squadrons, as ready, do Westward, ho! ply. Old England, etc. Some of his Lame Geese not able to bear Their Heads above Water, to th' Bottom they steer. Old England, etc. The rest we pursue in their stragling Flight, And Chase the Poltrons most part of the Night. Old England, Old England , And hey! for the Honour of Old England.

NExt Morning was foggy; but when it grew clear, The Chace was renew'd, and so was their Fear. Old England , etc. We made all our Sail, and gave 'em no rest, From Point to Point drove 'em, from West to East . Old England, etc.
Those Coursers so Brisk at the Starting-Place , Run heavily now through Alderney Race . Old England , etc. Into Cherburgh Bay Three Tall Ones did run, Where a Northern Blaze burns up the South Sun . Old England , etc. 'Twas Heath did this Feat; and Greenway another, For the Conquerant fell, in Flames, and in Smother. Old England , etc. And Fowlis was Daring, though he miss'd his Prey; He flew at the Sun , but stoopt by the way. Old England , etc. But now we are making for Bay le Hogue , Where on Land, they say, are many a Brogue . Old England , etc. These Doughty Wights, those true Irish Teagues, Won't let us come near 'em by several Leagues. Old England , etc. Such Gallant Alliance the French much imports, They'll save their Friends Ships, as they did their own Forts. Old England , etc. But Manning our Boats, those Wise Ones we cozen, And burn in this Bay Thirteen to the Dozen . Old England , etc. This Action's far greater, than that of Lepanto , And merits alone a whole Noble Canto . Old England , etc. For like the Old Britains , our Men did Assail 'em, In Open Boats, and Naked, we Quail 'em. Old England , etc. We storm'd their Fore-Castles, their Decks we did Scale, And with their own Canon, we made 'um turn tale. Old England , etc. Earl Danby Commanded the Headmost Boat, Which was in a moment from under him shot. Old England , etc. Then a Musquet Ball does graze on his Shin, But still he goes on, more Honour to Win. Old England , etc. Not a Captain was here, but toss'd up his Brands; The Seamen were Furies, with Flames in their hands. Old England , etc. What Bonfires we made on our Norman Coast! Where William the Conqueror Rules the Roast: Rules the Roast, Rules the Roast ; Where William the Conqueror Rules the Roast.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The Third Part to the Same.</hi> </seg>
BUT now in all Pomps, where Great Men appear, The Post of Honour is still in the Reer. Old England , etc. Brave Russell can never enough be prais'd, Such Trophies are owing as never were rais d. Old England , etc. To his Courage, and Conduct, Great Honours are due To all of the Flag; the Red, White and Blew. Old England , etc. To Delaval, Almonde, Shovell, Ashby. Rook, Whose Names are all writ in Fame's Lasting Book. Old England , etc. To Carter, the Bold! who never can die; He only i'th' Bed of Honour does lie. Old England , etc. His Story is Great, for he comes not an Ace Behind Withrington in Old Chivy Chace . Old England , etc. Nay, he is before him, for he fought on his Stumps, With joy in his Face, and not Doleful Dumps. Old England , etc. Stout Hastings shall live; shall ever be famed, With all our Commanders , too long to be named. Old England , etc. What need we say more, there is no occasion, This French does excell in the Spanish Invasion : Old England , etc. The Downfall of Lewis le Grand is reckon'd So far above that of Philip the Second . Old England , etc. 'Twas in Eighty Eight Queen Bess swept the Main; In Ninety Two Queen Mary the same. Old England , etc. Now all English Lads not enter'd their Teens, Shall chant forth the Praise of Those Protestant Queens, Protestant Queens! Protestant Queens! Shall chant out the Praise of those Protestant Queens . Our London Merchants will now live at ease, May Trade without Convoys all over the Seas. Old England , etc. The New-Castle Men may bring in their Coals; And never must Petres say Mass in Pauls . Mass in Pauls! Mass in Pauls! And never must Petres say Mass in Pauls.
