FAir Isabel of Beauty bright, To thee in Love these lines I write, Hoping thou art alive and well, As I am now, as I am now, Fair Isabel. On Board on the Beauty bold, I have the Fortune to behold, The sweet delightsome banks of Spain, While in the Straits, while in the Straits, We do remain. The Spanish Lords of high Renown, And Gentre come swarming down, To see the Brittish Royal Fleet, With swelling Sails, with swelling Sails, And Streams so sweet. While we appeard in all our Pride, The Seas was nere so beautifid With Able Men of War before, Along the Straits, along the Straits, Of Spanish Shore, We have no Storms, nor Weather foul, To make the Roaring Billows Role, But pleasant breathing, gentle-gales, Enough to fill, enough to fill, Our swelling Sales. Along the Coast of Barbarie, The Algereens they flot to see, Our Royal Fleet of Noble Fame, And stood amazd, and stood amazd, To see the same. The longer they the Fleet beheld, The more they were with wonder fild, As knowing we were Brittan bold, And that the French, and that the French, False Tales have told.
For Turvyl made the Turk believe That they no dammage could receive, For of a Truth he did declare, That Masters of, that Masters of, The Seas they were. This will for Truth no longer go, For Turvyl fears Great Russel so, That from Toulon they steard away, Had not forgot, had not forgot the Month of May. With Russel he is loath to deal, For fear a second Warlike Real, Should shake the whole foundation, That it might prove, that it might prove their overthrow. Once more my Dear, and tender Dove, Fair Isabel, and my Loyal Love, Except of these few lines I send, Who will remain, who will remain Your Faithful Friend. Tho we are separated now, Ile not forget that Solemn Vow Made, when I left my Native Land, Ile go on board, Ile go on board, under Command. My Dearest do not grieve nor mourn, With Patience wait my safe Return, And then wele both united be, In lasting Bonds, in lasting Bonds Of Loalty. The Figure of a Heart, I send, And round the same these lines are pend The Chain of Love has link it fast, So long as Life, so song as Life And Breath doth last.
FINIS.
