Admiral Russel's Scowering The French Fleet : OR , The Battle at SEA .

THursday in the Morn the Ides of M●● , Recorded for ever the famous Ninety-Two , Brave Russel did d●sc●rn by dawn of day , The lo●ty Sa●●● o● France advancing now : All h●nds alo●t , alo●t , let English Valour shine , Let ●●y a Go●ver●e , the signal of the Line ; Let ev'ry ▪ hand supply ●i● Gun , Follow me , and you 'll see That the Bot●le will be soon begun , &c. Turvil o'er the Main triumphant rowl'd , To meet the gal●ant Russel in Combat on the Deep ; He led the noble Train of Heroes bold , To sink the English Admiral at his Feet . Now ev'ry Vali●●t Mind to Victory does aspire , The bloudy Figh●s begun , the Sea it self on fire , And mights Fa●e stood looking on , Whilst a flo●d all of Bloud , Fill'd the Port-holes of the Royal Sun. Sulphur , Smoak and Fire disturb'd the Air , With Thunder and Wonder t'affright the G●llie Shore , Their regulated Sands 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 total overthrow ; Now Death and Horrour equal Reign , Now they cry , run or dye , British Colour● ride the vanquish'd Main . S●e they run ●m●z'd through Rocks and S●n●● . One danger ●h●● grasp ●o shun a greater Fa●e , In vain they cry for Aid to weeping Lands . The N●mphs and Sea God mourn their lo●t E●●ate ▪ For ever-more adie● thou Royal daz●ing S●● , From th● untimely E●d th● Master's Fa●e begun , Enough thou mighty God of War , Now we sing , Bless the King ▪ Let us drink to ev'ry En●lish Tar . Come jolly Seamen all with Russ●l go , And sa● on the Main proud M●nsieur for to greet , And give our Enemy a second Blow , And fight Turvil if that he dare to meet , Come Brother Tar , what chear ? let each his Gun supply ▪ And thump them off this year , or make Mons . to ●●y , While we do range the Ocean round , Day or Night we will fight , When our Enemy is to be sound . Let it ne'er be said that Englis● 〈◇〉 Should ere stay behind when our Admiral does go , But let each honest Lad cry with one Voice , Brave Russel leads us on to fight the Foe , We 'l give them Gun for Gun , some sink , and others 〈◇〉 , Broad-sides we 'll give them too , till Monsi●ur c●y● Des E●gletars vill kill us all , Whi●● they scower , we will pour , Thick as Hail amongst them Cannon-Ball .
