With human blood. and made II death

Until Queen Bess her leashos slip't.
And let her seadOgs loose.
God, how they sprong, And how they tore

They made the Spaniard quake.

Straight for the throat, amainl

They fought the ships OF Spain.

Her iaithless guns that morn awoke

From sea 10 sea he rayaged far.

Whore'cr tho Spanlard sailed his ships.
Sailed Francis Drake and Death.
No port was safe ngainst his ire.
Secure no furthost shore;
The faircst day oft sank In fire
Before the Dragon roar.
IIc made III Atlantic surgcs red
Round every Spanish keel
Piled Spanish decks with Spanish dead,
The noblest of CASTLE.
From Del Fucgo's boctling roast
To sleety lohridco,
He bounded down tho Spanish host,
And swept the flaming seas
He fought TIL on Spain's inmost lakes
q Mid orange bowers set.
La Manrha's daughters feared to sail
Z Lest they the Dragon met.
King philp. of his raven roft,
IA AS forfeit claimed his head,
sJhe great queen laughed his wrath to bcor

And gave him ships and sent him forth
To clear tho Spanish main.
For England and for Englands brood
And sink the fleets OF Spain.
And we'll he wrought his mighty work,
Till on that fatal day
He met his ony conquoror,
In Nombre dos bay
There, In his shottcd hammock swung,
Amid the surgos' sweep.
He waits the lookont's signal
Across the quiet deep.
And dreams OF dark Tiloa'a hay
Ana Spanish treachery;
And how he tracked Magellan far
Across the unknown sea.
But II Spain fires a single shot
