Sir Walter Raleigh Sailing in the Low-lands.
Shewing how the famous Ship called the sweet Trinity was taken by a false Gally,
and how it was again restored by the craft of a little Sea-boy, who sunk the
Gally; as the following Song will declare.
To the Tune of, The Sailing in the Low-lands.
|
SIr Walter Rawleigh has built a ship
|
in the Neatherlands,
|
Sir Walter Rawleigh has built a ship
|
in the Neather-lands?
|
And it is called the sweet Trinity,
|
And was taken by the false Gallaly,
|
sailing in the Low-lands:
|
Is there never a Seaman bold
|
in the Neather-lands:
|
Is there never a Seamen bold
|
in the Neather-lands?
|
That will go take this false Gallaly,
|
And to redeem the sweet Trinity,
|
sailing in the Low-lands.
|
Then spoke the little Ship-boy
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
Then spoke the little Ship-boy
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
Master, master, what will you give me,
|
And I will take this false Gallaly,
|
And release the sweet Trinity,
|
sailing in the Low-lands.
|
Ile give thee gold, and Ile give thee fee
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
Ile give thee gold, and Ile give thee fee
|
in the Neather-lands;
|
And my eldest daughter thy wife shall be,
|
sailing in the Low-lands.
|
He set his breast, and away he did swim
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
He set his breast, and away did swim
|
in the Neather-lands.
|
Until he came to the false Gallaly,
|
sailing in the Low-lands,
|
HE had an Augor fit for the once,
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
He had an Augor fit for the once,
|
in the Neather-lands;
|
The which will bore
|
Fifteen good holes at once,
|
sailing in the Low-lands
|
Some were at Cards, and at somt Dice
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
Some were at Cards, and some at Dice
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
Until the salt water flashd in their eyes,
|
sailing in the Low-lands.
|
Some cut their hats, and some cut their caps
|
in the Neather-lands;
|
Some cut their hats, and some cut their caps
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
For to stop the salt-water gaps,
|
sailing in the Low-lands.
|
He set his breast and away did swim
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
He set his breast and away did swim
|
in the Neather-lands;
|
Until he came to his own ship again,
|
sailing in the Low-lands,
|
I have done the work I promised to do
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
I have done the work I promised to do
|
in the Neather-lands.
|
For I have sunk the false Gallaly,
|
And released the sweet Trinity,
|
sailing in the Lowlands.
|
You promised me gold, and you promised me fee,
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
You promised me gold and you promised me fee
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
Your eldest daughter my wife she must be,
|
sailing in the Low-lands.
|
You shall have gold, and you shall have fee
|
in the Neather-lands.
|
You shall have gold, and you shall have a fee
|
in the Neather-lands.
|
But my eldest daughter your wife shall ne-ver be
|
for sailing in the Low-lands.
|
Then fare you well, you cozening Lord
|
in the Neather-lands,
|
Then fare you well, you cozening Lord
|
in the Neather-lands.
|
Seeing you are not so good as your word,
|
for sailing in the Low-lands.
|
And thus I shall conclude my Song
|
of the sailing in the Low-lands,
|
And, thus I shall conclude my Song
|
of the sailing in the Low-lands;
|
Wishing all happiness to all Seamen both
|
old & young in their sailing in the Low-lands.
