SOund up the Trumpet, beat up the Drum, let not a Soul be subject to fear, Since the true pride of all Christendom, does against France in valour appear: The Couragious worthy Seamen, does from all parts to London advance, For Englands promotion, theyll fight on the Ocean, against all the strength and power of France.
The last Engagement with the French Fleet, has so inrag[]d true English Boys, That they resolve to make them retreat with the loud Cannons thundring noise; Not a Soul among them daunted, but to the Seas theyll freely advance, On Board they do enter, and Lives they will venter to pull down the pride and power of France.
Pray woud it not the Kingdom provoke, if we shoud to a Tyrant bow? But we will neer come under his Yoke, he must not think to Cope with us now; For his Arbitrary Power, never shall to great Brittain advance, Our valliant brave Seamen, will keep us all Freem[en] and pull down the pride and power of France. Did he not drive his Subjects of late, out of their native Country dear? Those that were rich did leave their Estate, naked and poor they came to us here: Should that Tyrant gain this Kingdom, the very same woud be our hard chance, His Fleet we will fire, or make them retire, and pull down the strength and power of Franc[e.] Therefore brave Seamen valliantly go, for to preserve this Nation from thrall, Rather than never Conquer this Foe, they do resolve to fight one and all; From the brave Sea-port of Weymouth, sixty true souls did freely advance, They needed no pressing, for by Heavens blessing, theyll pull down the pride and power of France. Norfolk brave Lads shall not be forgot, Sea-men they are that never will flinch; With Cannons hot, and thundring shot, they do resolve to pepper the French: Six score came from thence to London, who in the Wars will hazzard their chance, Stout Lads brisk and airy, for William and Mary, theyll help for to check the power of France. Bristow that ancient City of fame, still will stand up our Rights to restore, Sailers from thence most valliantly came, now one hundred and fifty or more: Valliant sea-men, sons of thunder, who in the Wars will venter their chance, For the preservation of their native nation, theyll fight against all the power of France. Ery sea-port all over the Land, sea-men comes in with joy and delight, Being resolvd with Courage to stand, still to maintain the Protestants right, Since their Lives they freely venter, Englands Glory still to advance; May Heaven defend them, and blessings attend them who fights against all the power of France.
