From the LONDON EVENING POST;
S O N G.
To the tune of—" To all you ladies now at land."
Written by an Officer on board Sir Charles Hardy's
Fleet.
CTO all our countrymen at land,
% We men at sea indite,
And hope they will not understand,
That we're afraid to fight.
We'll never flinch, by all the Gods,
Though two to one are fearful odds.
With a fal, lal, lal, la, la.
Had we our fav'rite Kepple here,
Or gallant Viscount Howe,
Their presence would our spirits cheer,
Which are hut drooping now:
But doubtless fellows such as they,
To Jemmy Twitcher must give way.
With a fal, lal, &c.
In winter Jemmy makes his boasts,
He'll equal all our foes ;
In summer th^y insult our courts,
And he a fifhing goes:
Whilff our Commanders are difgrac'd,
That Jemmy may not be displac'd.
With a fal, lal, &c.
Can Britain's font unmov'd remain,
Whose navy was her pride,
And fee the fleets of France and Spain
Within her Channel ride?
And must her foes unpunilh'd brag,
That they have brav'd the British flag ?
With a fal, lal, &c.
Whene'er we on the ocean find
This preud inciting fleet,
O! sh uld their sixty-six combin'd,
Our nine and thirty beat ;
Our injur'd country will, we hope,
For Jemmy's neck provide a rope.
With a fal, lal, &c.
And now we bid you all adieu,
Friends, children, sweethearts, wives;
For England, for our King, and you,
We fieely rifle our lives.
But if out number'd we should fall,
On Jemmy's head revenge us all.
With a fal, lal, &c.
