106 SONGS AND BALLADS
Then Morgan hur railes, crys, ' Splutter-a-nails, Hur newly come up to fair London from Wales ; Then pray cease your strife, hur has a young wife, Besides hur was never yet kill'd in hur life.' A Welsh taylor.
But yet, right or wrong, they brought 'em along, And happen'd to meet with three more in the thro[ngl. Then said lusty Jane, ' You must serve King and Que[en] !' And thus these stout females did press full fourte[en], And all taylors. |

THE COURAGIOUS COMMANDER; OR, A BRIEF RELATION OF THAT MOST NOBLE ADVENTURE OF SIR CLOUDESLY SHOVELL, IN THE BA Y OF DUBLIN, ON GOOD FR YDA Y, IN BRINGING THE PELLICAN FRIG AT OUT OF THEIR HARBOUR IN TRIUMPH AND VIC10RY.
To the Tune of Let Ccesar live long.
Now, noble brave boys, let the sweet trumpet sound,
While seamen with trophies of honour are crown'd ;
For gracious King William they'll fight till they dye,
And scorn from the face of a Tory to flye.
Sir brave Cloudesly Shovell sail'd to Dublin Bay, And brought the brave Pellican frigat away.
Old James and his Teagues they did stand and behold Our noble commander, couragious and bold, Who ventur'd just close to the banks of their shore And laid the proud enemy sprawling in gore : With fire and sword, boys, we enter'd the bay, And brought the brave Pellican frigat away.
Our noble commander first enter'd aboard, On the Monmouth yacht; this did courage afford To all the brave sailors of Protestant pride, Who vow'd they wou'd venture to dye by his side ; Then crossing the bar they enter'd the bay, And brought the brave Pellican frigat away. |
