COme all you brave Sailors that sails on the Main, I'll tell you of a Fight that was lately in Spain, And of five Sail of Frigats bound to Malago, For to fight the Proud Spaniards, our Orders was so:
There was the Henry and Ruby, and the Antelope also, The Grey-hound, and the Bryan, for Fire-ships must go, But so bravely we weighed, and played our parts, That we made the Proud Spaniards to quake in their hearts.
Then we came to an anchor so nigh to the Mould, Methinks you Proud English do grow very bold: But we came to an anchor so near to the Town, That some of their Churches we soon battered down. They hung out their Flag of Truce, for to know our Intent, And they sent out their Long-boat, to know what we meant: But our Captain he answered them bravely, it was so, For to burn all your Shipping, before we do go. For to burn all our Shipping, you must us excuse, 'Tis not five Sail of Frigats shall make us to muse. But we burn all their Shipping, and their Gallies also, And we left in the City full many a Widow. Come then, says our Captain, let's fire at the Church; And down came their Belfrey, which grieved them much; And down came the Steeple, which standeth so high; Which made the Proud Spaniards to the Nunnery flye. So great a Confusion we made in the Town, That their lofty Buildings came tumbling down: Their Wives and their Children for help they did cry, But non could relieve them, though danger was nigh.
The flames and the smoak, so increased their woe, That they knew not whither to run nor to go; Some to shun the Fire, leapt into the Flood, And there they did perish in Water and Mud. Our Guns we kept firing, still shooting amain, Whilst many a Proud Spaniard was on the place slain: The rest being amazed, for succour did cry, But all was in vain, they had no where to flye. At length being forced, they thought it most fit. Unto the brave English Men for to submit: And so a conclusion at last we did make, Upon such Conditions as was fit to take. The Spanish Armado, did England no harm, 'Twas but a Bravado to give us alarm; But with our five Frigats we did them bumbast, And made them of English Mens Valour to taste. When this noble Victory we did obtain Then home we returned to England again; Where we were received, with Welcomes of Joy, Because with the Frigats we did them destroy.
