STring up your hearts, & tune your throats, With merry and triumphant Notes; Send sorrow from your Souls away, You never had more cause for Joy: The Creeple may cast away his Crutch, And dance the Downfal of the Dutch Great Brittain now may take its ease, King Charles is Soveraign of the Seas. The First and Second day of June, Put Hollands Trumpets out of Tune; Prince Rupert and the Duke too boot, Have given the Dutch-men all the Rout: So bloudily they cut their Coats, And bruisd & bangd, & burnd their Boats, They nere will offer to displease, King Charles their Soveraign of the Seas. If Number would have won the Day, We were less Numerous then they; When Sixteen Zealand Ships came in, If odds would doot, they needs must win: For they were Ninety Six compleate, But who can save, whom Heaven will beat. When God his Mercy will express, Unto the Soveraign of the Seas.
The Duke with Loyalty inragd, With (Fifty) Ninety Sir ingagd; But Thirty of the Dutch (to meet Prince Rupert) then did quit their Fleet, Thinking to seize the Prince by slight, Before their Forces could Unite: But no such shallow Plots as these, Can Cheat the Soveraign of the Seas. The Prince and the Duke did nobly joyn, Their Loyal Forces both combine; And on the foaming Billows curld, They bid Defiance to the world: The Dutch ingage with all their Powers, And scatter on us Shot like showers. But tis not such poor Powers as these, Can quell the Soveraign of the Seas. Almost as swiftly as desird, Fourteen of theirs were Took and Fird; But their Vice-Admiral did meet, Our Duke ith Front of all his Fleet: They were so near they might have clutcht, Almost shook hands, their Yard-Arms touchd. But Georges Broad-side did displease, The Foe toth Soveraign of the Seas.

THe First was then so fierce and hot, His Hand was bruisd, his Breeches shot; Yet though they came so hotly on, As soon they vanishd and were gon: Forty or Fifty men of ours, Were killd & knockd down by their powers. Yet some of these (though with much pain) Appeard upon the Decks again. Prince Rupert like the God of War, Thorough their Fleet shot like a Star; Whose Influence like Lightning shone, And piercd the marrow through the bone: The Seas with bloud were much imbrud, The Dutch-men fled, our Men pursud. Till none were seen that could displease, King Charles the Soveraign of the Seas. So long as we had Powder, we Pursud the Dutch-men through the Sea; And their du Ruiter, he in whom, They builded all their hopes to come: Four of their greatest Ships were sunck, They cry, The Devils in the Monck. Never such men appeard like these, To Guard the Soveraign of the Seas. A gallant Ship of theirs was Fyrd, With Seventy six Guns double Tyrd; Our Henery, a Ship of Fame, From three Fire-Ships escapd the Flame:
And was so strong beset, that then He lost at least One hundred men. We must indure such hurts as these, To guard the Soveraign of the Seas. By Sea, so black and red a Fight, No Time or Age ere brought to light; The Fire and Water did contend, Which should first bring them to their end: More valiant Men killd in three dayes, Then three and twenty years can raise. We cant avoid such brunts as these, To guard the Soveraign of the Seas. On Whitsonday the Duke did send, His Men for Cure, and Ships to mend Unto our English Coast, where care Is taken for their swift Repair: These Cards thus dealt, out of the Lump, The Royal Katherine turnd up Trump. A Sacrifice which doth appease, The Royal Soveraign of the Seas. To summe up all, tis thought they are, Unfit to raise another War; Tis much presumd, cause they did fail, When they had made out all their Sayl: These are some of those warlike Tricks, Becket Presagd in Sixty Six. [May al]wayes such Events as these, Secure the Soveraign of the Seas.
