I am a Jovial Marriner our calling is well known . We trade with many a Forreigner to purchase high renown , We serve our Country faithfully and bring home store of Gol● ; We do our business manfully , for we are frée and bold : A Sea-man hath a valiant heart and bears a noble minde : He scorneth once to shrink or start , for any stormy wind . 't is known what hardship we indure abroad upon the Seas : Whilst others sléep at home secure , ●nd spend their time in ease , We seldome dare lie down so rest lest danger should ensue : Our beads with care is sore opprest , beleeve me this is true , A Sea-man hath a valiant heart , &c. A Cowardly spirit must not think to prove a Sea-man bold ; For to be sure he may not shrink in dangers manifold : When Sea-fights happen on the Main , and dreadful Canons rore . Then an men fight or else be slain for we have no back door . A Sea-man hath , &c. 't is Sea-men stout that doth deser●e both honour and renown , In perils great we may not swerve though Neptune séem to frown : If once his curled front we spy drencht in the foamy brine ; Then each man doth his busi●ess ply there 's none that doth repine . A Sea-man hath , &c. When angry Billows brash the Skye , most hideous to behold , Then up our Ships are tost on hye , and with the waves are roull'd ; When tempests fierce our sails doth tear and rends the Masts a sunder , O! then we have ●reat cause to fear or else it were a wonder . A Sea-man hath , &c. Great Rocks which lye amongst the waves doth thre●ten us with dea●h And many Sea-men finde their Graves in Sands which are ben●●t● , To sée the Masts of Ships appear , which hath been cast away , Would make a Land-man dye for fear , 't is best at home to stay . A Sea-man h●th a valiant heart and bears a noble m●nde : He scorneth once to shrink or start , for any stormy wind .
The Second Part , To the same Tune .

BRave England hath been much inricht by Art of Navigation : Great store of wealth we home have fetcht tor to adorn our Nation : Our Merchants sti● we do supply with Traffick that is rare , Then Sea-men cast your caps on high we are without compare , A Sea-man hath a valiant heart , and bears a noble minde ▪ He scorneth once to slinch o● start for any stormy wind . Who should the Ladies pallats pleale with Spices of the best ? If Sea-men all should take their ease and stay at home to rest : Our Gallants they would finde a want of sil●s to make them fine And tearing boyes no more would rant if once they wanted wine , A Sea-man hath , &c. Our Land it would in vaded be if Sea-men were not stout ; We let our friends come in you see and keep our foes without ; Our priviledge upon the Seas we bravely do maintain , And can enlarge it when we please in Royal Charles his Reign . A Sea-man hath , &c. Such Countries as do lie remote doth tremble at our fame : For we h●ve taught them all to note t is England bears the Name : In 〈…〉 parts where ere we come o●●●●●cur is well known , What ere they he they dare not mumm if we say all 's our own , A Sea man hath , &c. When us our Ships with Merchandize are safely come to shore , No men like as under the Skies to drink , to sing , and rore ▪ Good wine and beer we freely toye , until the ground look blew : We value neither Turk nor Pope , we are a jovial crew , A Sea-man hath , &c. We kiss our wives when we return , who long for us did w●it : And he that 〈◇〉 ●●ngle needs not mourn , he cannot want a mate . Young women still are wondrous kinde to Sea-men in their need ; And sure if shews a courteous minde , to do a friendly deed , A S●a man hath &c. With pretty curious dainty knacks , we please the females we●● : We know what longing women lacks , most surely we can tell A Sea-man is a Cock o th' Game , Young Maidens finde it true : We never are so much to blame , to let them want their due . A Sea-man hath , &c. Thus Gallant Sea-men I have spread abroad your high renown : Which shall survive when you are dead , and gain a lasting Crown ; Your praise so future ages shall most gloriously appear , Then courage Noble Sea-men all 't is you I love most dear . A Sea-man hath a valiant heart and bears a noble minde : He s●orneth once to shrink or start , for any stormy wind .
