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 the brave Britannia bold, I have the fortune to behold, The sweet delightful banks of Spain, While in the Streights, while in the Streights We do remain. The Spanish lords of high renown, And gentery come swarming down, To see the British royal Fleet; With swelling sails, with swelling sails, And streamers sweet. While we appear'd in all our pride, The seas was ne'er so beautifi'd, With able men of war before, Along the streights, along the streights And Spanish-shore. We have no storms nor weather foul, To make the roaring billows roul, But pleasant breathing gentle gales, Enough to fill, enough to fill Our swelling sails. Along the coast of Barbary, The Algerines they flock'd to see Our warlike Fleet of royal fame, And stood amaz'd, and stood amaz'd To see the same. The longer they the Fleet beheld, The more they were with wonder fill'd; As knowing we were Britains bold, And that the French, and that the French False tales had told.
For Turvil made the Turk believe, That he no damage 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 Turvil fears great Russel so, That for Thoulon he stear'd away; He han't forgot, he han't forgot The month of May. With Russel he is loath to deal, For fear a second warlike peal Should shake their whole foundation so, That it might prove, that it might prove Their overthrow. Once more my dear and tender dove, Fair Isabel, my loyal love, Except of these few lines I send, Who will remain, who will remain Your faithful friend. Tho we are separated now, I'll not forget that solemn vow, Made when I left my native land, To go on board, to go on board Under command. Then dearest do not grieve nor mourn, With patience wait my safe return; And then we'll both united be, In lasting bonds, in lasting bonds, Of loyalty. The figure of a heart I send, And round the same these lines are penn'd: The chain of love has link'd it fast, So long as life, so long as life And breath shall last.
