BE VALIANT STILL , &c. A NEW SONG Much in request . Being the Advice of an experienced Lady in Martial Affairs , to her Lover a young Soldier . Tune of , An old Carle to daunten me . BE valiant still , be valiant still , Be stout and great , and valiant still , And I 'll imbrace you in my Arms , And please you with Loves pleasant Charms And then my Heart shall be at rest , In the Thoughts of him whom I love best . Be valiant still , be valiant still , Be stout and great , and valiant still . And I will place you on a Stage , To fight a Duel you must ingage , And from all Wounds you shall be clear , You 'll gain the Prize you need not fear . Be valiant still , &c. And if you 'll try that manly sport , I 'll make you Captain of a Fort , And shew you how to lay the Seige , And fire when e'er occasion needs . Be valiant still , &c. And if you 'll venture to scale the Wall , I 'll make you General of all ; Be stout and great , and always bold , And without all doubt you 'll gain the Hold. Be valiant still , &c. And if a City will not yield , Then place your Tents into the Field , Throw in your Bomb-balls then at large , But be sure your Piece be soundly charg'd : Be valiant still , &c. FINIS .
