BRave Gallants now of England Chear up your hearts, and firmly stand Against all people which oppose our King Let us fight with hearts lusty and stout, To keep all Foraign Nations out, Let Valour still the fame of England ring. The Hollander as I am told adventure new to be so bold As to oppose our Gracious King to fight. For truth it is I understand They have some English in their Land That right or wrong would do England a spite

See where our Tygre Rides amain, the Dolphin and the Pellican, The Charls, the James, the Lion, and the Boar, with many a Gallant ship beside, hoping to cool the Dutch-mans pride See how they fly along the Holland shore. See Valiant hearts, we are for battle harke how the thundring Guns do rattle.
