The Battel at SEA .

THursday in the Morn the Ides of May , Recorded for ever the famous Ninety-Two , Brave Russel did discern by dawn of day The lofty Sails of France advancing now ▪ All hands aloft , aloft , let English valour shine , Let fly a Culverine , the signal of the Line , Let ev'ry hand supply his Gun , Follow me , and you 'll see That the Battle will be soon begun , &c. Turville o'er the Main triumphant Rowld , To meet the gallant Russel in Combat on the deep , He led the noble Train of Hero's bold , To sink the English Admiral at his Feet Now ev'ry valiant Mind to Victory doth aspire , The bloudy Fight 's begun , the Sea it self on Fire , And mighty Fate stood looking on , Whilst a Floud all of Bloud Fill'd the Portholes of the Royal Sun . Sulphur , Smoak and Fire desturb'd the Air , With Thunder & Wonder t' affright the Gallic Shear , Their regulated Bands stood trembling near , To see their lofty Streamers now no more : At Six a Clock the Red the smiling Victor led , To give a second Blow , the fatal overthrow : Now Death and Horror equal Reighn ; Now they cry , Run , or Dye , Brittish Colours Ride the vanquish'd Main . See they fly amaz'd through Rocks and Sands ; One danger they grasp at to shun a greater Fate , In vain they cry for aid to weeping Lands , The Nymphs & Sea-Gods mourn their lost Estate , For evermore adieu thou Royal dazling Sun , From thy untimely end thy Master's Fate 's begun Enough thou mighty God of War , Now we sing , Bless the King , Let us drink to ev'ry English Tar. Come jolly Seamen all , with Russel go . And sail on the Main , proud Monsieur for to gr●●● And give our Enemy a second Blow , And fight Turville if that he dare to meet , Come brother Tar , what chear ? let each his Gun supply And thump 'em off this year or make Mon. to fly , While we do range the Ocean round , Day or Night we will fight , When our Enemy is to be found . Let it ne'er be said that English Boys Should ere stay behind when our Admiral does goe But let each honest Lad cry with one Voice , Brave Russel leads us on to fight the Foe , We 'll give them Gun for Gun , some sink & others burn , Broadsides we 'll give them too , till Monsieur cry● Morbl●● Des Engletars vill kill us all , Whilst they scower , we will pour , Thick as Hail amongst them , Cannon-Ball .
