THE GOLDEN VOYAGE |

The warning when every castle had got, They fired on us (like mad) theire great shott j With louder huzzas we answer'd agen, And shew'd 'em that we were true Englishmen; Thus under sail alongst 'em we past, And till convenient we kept all fast; But halloo'd out, nor were agast, And sent a broadside amongst 'em at last. |
|||
|
Thus fireing, and fireing, we held a good space, And gave 'em the go by to their disgrace; Three hours or more continu'd the fight, With fire and smoke, and a very calm night,
And tho' within pistol shott we were,
Yet nevertheless we got well clear,
Without much hurt or any fear,
And to tell you the tale are now come here. |

THE GOLDEN VOYAGE; OR, THE PROSPEROUS ARRIVAL OF THE JAMES AND MARY,
Who having searched the ocean for treasure, finding the value of two hundred thousand pounds in gold and silver, was joyfully received at the city of London.
To the Tune of Ladies of London.
Listen awhile, and I here will unfold what seemeth to promise
promotion : There is great plenty of silver and gold now newly took out of the
ocean: Forty-three years this treasure has lain since the galion was stav'd
asunder Among the scholes and the rocks in the main, yet this may be now
the world's wonder. |
