“ She served her Captain two twelvemonths and mere,
And at last they did steer from the fair English shore,
We espied a proud Frenchman, failing on the main,
Which caus’d us to hoist up our top-fails again.
Come let us live merry, come let our hearts live,
And now of our enemies let us observe:
We soon overtook them on the ocean so wide,
And the first salutation gave them broadside. ”
