THe weather is clear, which was late over cast & our long expectations are answerd at last, With News from the Navie, which I shal impart Enough to rejoyce every English-mans heart, Thats honest and true, (And is not a Jew) but would give to God and to Cesar his Due. This will be a joyfull and Royal Relation To such as love God, the King, and the Nation: those Dutch Demigorgons, Gods power convinces & makes them all Servant, that aimd to be Princes. On Wednesday last, the twenty fift day of July, Came in this Narration which Ile tell ye truly, From brave Cap. Talbot, a man of stout carriage That then brought a part of this News into Harwich, Both Ruine and Rage, (In brave Equipage) Last wednesday at noone both thee fleets did ingage The winds were our freinds, & did fill out our sails With very fresh Northerly brave top-sail gales; We dind with the Hogens upon their own Coast, You might a bad Dutch-men there boild or roast.
At first both the Navies did fight in a Line, Three hours with much fury & force (but in fine) The Enemies Fleet into three Squadrons flew, And Sir Jeremie Smith (Admiral of the Blew) By lot was to face, Persue and to Chase out the Zelanders Squadron, thee strongest that was They fought it out furiously, all the day after, And fiercely incounterd, like wild-fire & water, A Frigat of ours called the Resolution, Was burnt by the Dutch in this depth of confusion. The white and red squadrons did ply thee two other So fast that they almost were choakd with thee smother They tuggd very hard who should stand it out longest, Our blew was thee weakest, the Zealand the strongest And yet they fight Till so late at night, that powder and darkness deprivd them of sight The two Hollan[d] squadrons both turnd tail & fled[,] Pursued by the squadrons of our White and Red, Upon thursday morning betwixt nine and ten, The Zealands were cripled and hoppd home agen.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The second Part, to the same Tune.</hi></seg>
TO aid thee blew squadron a thousand stout men Were sent (in five frigats) by sir William Pen, And Talbot doth telLus ere he did retire, On wednesday night he saw six Dutch ships on fire, Two hundred almost Of our men were lost, such victories seldom are gaind without cost, The Zealanders Admiral some think is gone Unto his last home, wh[e]n his flag was shot down, Tis highly presumd by the best knowing men, They nere will be able to fight us agen. The prestmen (wel mingld with stout voluntiers[)] Did drink away dolor and fight away fears: Our small shot did stand tot with valiant desire, Their Guns spit & sparkld like bay-leaves in fire Our Canons did roare They sunk and they tore thousands that heard them will nere hear them more. It is better far in a good cause to dye, Then with a bad conscience to live great & high: And in acts of honour theres no better thing, Then dye a true Martyr for God and the King. Our white and red squadrons Du Ruiter engagd Five hours, till at last his fierce fury aswagd, He fought as if he had been Mars his own son, From ten in the morning, till three afternoon. Our Red and our White Did dazel his sight, they made him to turn and to run away quite, For no other reason as some men suppose But courage did fall from his heart to his hose: Though bad men seek victory, and think to win it It never will prosper, if God be not in it.
Our Frigots persued him, our Canons did roare, Until they were come within two miles of shore: Our great Ships persud, & contind thee slaughter, So far till they were within six fathom water: They durst not look back, To see what we lack, but posting for life, to their Harbours they tack; Their Flags being struck, and not let up again, Tis thought that Ven Trump & Du Ruiter is slain. He that doth protect us, will save us from evil, In spight of the Dutch, the Dane, or the Devil. Besides all the damage our Shipping hath done, To Vessels & men, in their fight, and their run. Two very stout Ships we have taken and fixd, And in them five hundred and ninety men tyrd, With tagging for that, They cannot get at. to make England stoop to their pittyful State; When slaves are turnd princes, no tyrants so evil When beggers are mounted, they ride to thee Devil No Souls so insulting as such sordid Slaves, As climb to preferment on honest mens graves. Our Genrals and Navy, are all safe and sound, The Prince, & the Duke have our foes in thee pound They in their own Harbors are prisners at ease, The King of great Brittain Commands where he please. We ride on the Ocean, And waite for the Motion, to venter again they have no great devotion. had they not crept in, theyd been burnt to a cinder And Holland by this time, had been turnd to tinder God bless King & Queen, with thee Duke, & all such, As are friends to great Brittain, & foes to the Dutch.
