 They gave us another as good as we ent,

For to ink each other it was our intent;

In the econd broadide our Captain was lain,

This damel was forc’d in his room to remain.

We fought her four hours in the battle o rare,

Till we carce had a man in our hip that could teer:

We caree had a man that could fire a gun,

For the blood out of our wab ho’ did run.

O quarters, O quarters, the Frenchmen cry’d,

No quarters, no quarters, the Damel reply’d;

You have the bet quarters that I can afford,

You mut either ink, wim, or ele come on board.

We unk the proud French in the ocean o wide,

Their hip carried fifty brik guns on her fide,

And our goodly hip carried jut thirty three,

And o bravely as we overcame our enemy.

Come let us go home to Old England with peed,

Sweet William he knew not his true love indeed,

Nor did he make herelf known unto him,

Until he had laid up the hip and paid off the men.

Come let us be merry, boys, here’s a glas of good wine,

Ye may drink to your true loves, and I’ll drink to mine;

Ye may drink to the gallant brik damei of fame,

Who went on board the New Frigate by name.

With that colour did trike in his face

He could not peak to'er for a pretty long pace

He kis’d her ,and call'd her his joy and his dear,

She aid, it was true love that bade her not fear.

If you any more of this tory would hear,

The King then he ettled two hundred a year,

And all to maintain her in raiment of gold,

Becaue that he fought with courage o bold.
