[?]e ear you lusty Gallants, [?]my purpose is to tell [?] the bloody Battell [?]h late on Seas befell: [?] our English coast it was, [?] not far from Dover, where The Dutchman with the Spaniard met, whose greetings bitter were. This present month September, [?] Fleet from Spain there went [?]ouldiers then for Dunkerck, [?] King was sent: [?]s in number, [?]in, [?] [?]er [?]ar [?]
And on the Friday morning they did begin to fight, Continuing the Battell untill that it was night: Discharging of their roaring Guns, the victory for to gain, Till two ships of the Hollander were sunk into the main. But yet the valiant Hollander, which scorns at Sea to fly, The next day with the Spaniard another bout did try: Where 12 sail more came to their ayd, and then in that same fight, One of the Spaniards great Gallons, and two ships sunk e're night. And then the next day following, being the Sabbath, they At two o'th clock i'th morning, began a bloody fray: And then with stinging Bullets they did each other vex, Till blood into the Ocean run streaming from the Decks.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The second Part To the same tune.</hi></seg>
THe Hollanders great Admirall, the Spaniard boarded thrice; (Had not the Dutch-man quench'd the same) it had been fired twice: Threescore and six great Ordnances the Admirall did bear; Her Souldiers and her Seamen then above a thousand were. Each side did their indeavour, for conquest of the day; And for eight hours together there was a bloody fray: Then slaughtred men on every side they over ship-board cast, Not possible to number them, they threw them out so fast. But in the Spanish Admirall, it is for certain known, A hundred men were slain therein, and over ship-board thrown: Abundance more in it besides, which under cure lyes; Some maim'd, and some dismembred in lamentable wise. And then the valiant Hollander, in signe of victory they Did take one of the Spaniards ships and caried quite away. At ten of the Clock i'th forenoon, the battell ended were, For then the King of Englands ships towards them approched near.
But when the valiant Dutchman our English ships past by, They bow'd there Sails unto them; the Spaniards did deny. But when as Sir John Pennington did see they were so proud, He threatned them with Canon shot and then the Spaniards bowd. The Spaniard in our English Coast being forced for to fly, For harbour to the South foreland, where now at road they lye The Hollander not farre from thence doth wayt their comming out, Being resolved before they goe to have the other bout. No certain Number their is known, how many their is kill'd; Though many hundreds on both sides their dearest bloud hath spild: The Spaniard hath no cause to boast, the Dutchmen queld their pride: And those that gained Credit most, was of the loosing side. God blesse our gracious King and Queen and our brave English fleet, And give them victory on the seas, when they with foes do meet: Defend them from ill sands and rocks, and Lord their battell fight As thou didst for Elisabeth in the yeare 88.
