“ Came bearing down directly upon the British fleet.
⁠With their thundering and roaring, etc.
⁠Then our admiral gave the signal for to chace,
When courage appear'd in each Briton's face;
The Monmouth got up with the brave Foudroyant,
And so sell to firing with their hey diag-o-dong
⁠With their thundering and roaring, etc.
⁠At six in the evening we saw then engage,
The Foudroyant and Monmouth were so enrage'd.
They strove for victory, but all was in vain
For Britons will always be lords of the main. ”

“ When the Miller the bond in his pocket had got,
Took leave of his Landlord, & homeward did trot,
He whistled and sung, and laugh'd in his sleeve,
To think how his Landlord he meant to deceive,
The bond is secure, the bargain is fast,
Instead of my wife he shall have my she ass,
Fal lal de ral, etc.
The Gentleman he was as brisk as an eel,
And soon the next morning some courage did feel;
He call'd to his man, and he gave him a glass,
Saying, Go to the Miller and fetch his she ass,
Now mind that you get your story quite pat,
He'll know what you mean, but-mum for ill that. ”

“ That's well, said the Master, my counsel now keep,
I fancy by this time she wants for to sleep,
Go tell the housekeeper to put her to bed,
With clean holland sheets, and the best coverlid.
Fal lal dc ral, etc. ”
