GReat Ch●rles , your English Sea-men upon our bended knée , Present our selves as Fréemen , unto Your Majesty . Beséeching God to blesse you where-ever that you go , So we pray , night and day , when the stormy winds do blow . In darkest nights , or Shipwracks , alwayes we are on our guard : Of French or Turkish Pirate , we never were afraid . But cal'd stout English Sea-men where-ever that we go . For we make , them to quake when the stormy winds do blow . We are your Valiant Sea-men that brought you out of Spain : And will as war-like Frée-men your Royall Cause maintain . If you will give Commission to wars with France wee 'l go : Then shall we , merry be , when , &c. 'T was we did sail you over to English ground agen : And landed you at Dover , with all your Noble men , For which we are renowned where-ever we do go : Honour will , tend us still , when , &c. And now we are a ranging upon the Ocean Seas , The Frenchmen they are changing and cannot be at ease , For we will make their top-sailes unto our Fléet shall bow : Then shall we , merry be , when the stormy winds do blow .

The second Part to the same Tune . SOmetimes our tacklings breaking our Masts we cut in two : Our ships are often leaking , great straits we 're put unto . In great tempestuous weather , which few at home doth know Thus do we , live at Sea , when the stormy winds do blow . When some at home are féeding and cheering up themselves Then we at Sea are bléeding amongst the rocks and shelves Yet greater dangers ready , still we will undergo . For our King , and will sing when , &c. Sometimes when we are sailing our Victuals they grow scarse Our wives at home bewailing and pittying of our case . In thinking of the dangers poore S●a-men undergo . For our King , still we sing , when the , &c. Yet we are still couragious with any foe to fight : If Turk or Jew ingage us we put them to the flight . And make them give us homage before we let them go : For our King , then we sing when , &c. We are the prop of Trading , what kinde so ere it be : The originall of Lading your Ships with treasury . None goes beyond a Sea-man in riches , gold , and store : For he brings , wealth to Kings when , &c. We have some snéezing pouder , the Dutch-man fain would have , 'T will make him speak the louder , if Kings he will not have . And cause him to remember the phisick taking so : Then shall we , merry be , when , &c. Great King wée 'l make you famous , your glory shall out-shine Romulus and Remus , Godolph or Constantine . Wée 'l bring you gold and treasu●● by sailing to fro : And will fight , day and night , to preserve you from your foe . FINIS .
