COME sound up your Trumpets and beat up your Drums, And lets go to Sea with a valiant good Cheer, In search of a mighty vast Navy of Ships, The like has not been for these fifty long Years. Raderer two, tandaro te, Raderer tandorer, ran do re.
The Queen she provided a Navy of Ships, With sweet flying Streamers so glorious to see Rich Top and Top-Gallants, Captains and Lieutenants, Some forty, some fifty Brass-Pieces and three. Raderer two, tandato te, Raderer, tandorer, tan do re.
They had not saild past a Week on the Seas, Not passing a Week and Days two or three, But they were aware of the proud Emperor, Both him and all his proud Company. Raderer two, etc. When he beheld our powerful Fleet, Sailing a long in their Glory and pride, He was amazed at their Valour and Fame, Then to his warlike Commands he cryd. Raderer two, etc. These were the Words of the old Emperor, Pray who is this that is sailing to me, If he be King that weareth a Crown, Yet I am a better Man than he. Raderer two, etc. It is not a King nor Lord of a Crown, Which now to the Seas with his Navy is come, But the young Earl of Essex, the Queens Lieu-tenant, Who fears no Foes in Christendom. Raderer two, etc. Oh! is that Lord then come to the Seas Let us tack about, and be steering away, I have heard so much of his Father before, That I will not fight with young Essex Today. Rederer two, etc. Oh! then bespoke the Emperors Son, As they were tacking and steering away, Give me, Royal Father, this Navy of Sips, And I will go fight with Essex To day. Raderer two, etc. Take them with all my Heart, loving Son, Most of them are of a capital Size, But should he do as his Father has done, Farewel thine Honour and mine likewise. Raderer two, tandaro te, Raderer two, tandorer, tan do re.
With Cannons hot, and thundering Shot, These two Gallants fought on the Main, And as it was young Essexs Lot, The Emperors Son by him was taen. Raderer two, etc. Give me my Son the Emperor cryd, Who you this Day have taken from me, And Ill give to the three Keys of Gold, The one shall be of High Germany. Raderer two, etc. I care not for thy three Keys of Gold, Which thou hast profferd to set him free, But thy Son he shall to England sail, And go before the Queen with me. Raderer two, etc. Then have I fifty good Ships of the best, As good as ever were sent to the Sea, And eer my Son into England sail, They shall go all for good Company. Raderer two, etc. They had not fought this famous Battle, They had not fought it Hours three, But some lost Legs, and some lost Arms, And some lay tumbling in the Sea. Raderer two, etc. Essex he got this Battle likewise, Tho twas the hotest that ever was seen, Home he returnd with a wonderful Prize, And brought the Emperors Son to the Queen; Raderer two, etc. O then bespoke the Prentices all, Living in London both proper and tall, In a kind Letter sent straight to the Queen; For Essexs Sake they would fight all, Raderer two, tandero te, Raderer, tandarer, tan do re.
