This may be Printed , R. P.

SHall the Granadeer-Boys Proclaim Their Loyalty to the Royal Train , And we who belong to the Ocean Main , now forget our Loyalty ? No , no , it never never shall be said . That we who uphold now the National Trade , Was ever yet , or will be afraid of the greatest forces by Sea ? Against all those that dare inhance , Our Courage we will soon advance , We never fear'd the Power of France , like Hero's we will fight For Royal James , whom we adore , Our thundering Cannons they shall roar , We 'll Chase them to the veen● 〈◊〉 , that dare to oppose his 〈…〉 ONce our Enemies hold extreams , Was Conquered by our Princely Royal James , He rouzed them up from their Drowsie Dreams , then with many a fair Broadside ; Making a thundring noble noise , A Harmony for your Warlike Boys , Lifted them up with a thousand Joys , when we vanquished all their Pride . Our Enemies did then look pale , We through and through their Fleet did Sail , Our Bullets flew as thick as Hail , which proved their fatal bane : We gave them many a heavy s●roast , And fill'd their Fleet with Flame and Smoale , Sure , sure they never will provoke him to anger now again . Now a Bowl of Punch , Boys , we 'll make , To Drink for Royal James his sake , Who never feared to make them quake , that Dare to invade the Land ; He was the Glory of all our Pride , In Battel upon the Main Ocean wide , With whom our Courage and Valour was try'd , and under his great command ; Now since our Gracious Prince is Crown'd , Boys , let his Royal Health go round , With bended Knees upon the Ground , and to all his Princely Train ; Couragious Seamen bold and stout , We 'll Drink his Royal Health about , And when the Liquor is all out , Boys , wash then and fill again . When our Captain he calls us , then We 'll quit our selves like most undaunted Mens , Never , never is there one in ten , But what will express their joy . Let the Granadeers Guard at home , While we on the Marvel Main do rome , Where Neptune himself doth fret and some , we value not the annoy : With more than ordinary Delight , We Plow the Ocean Day and Night , To bring home Bacchus here to Fight , he 's worthy to be preferr'd : For why most Noble Hearts of Gold , He 'll make them scorn to be controul'd , And when they are both faint and cold , he 'll cheer them upon their Guard .
