Part 36

Chapter 363,664 wordsPublic domain

Ring bells for joy, let none be sad, 79

Ring, ring out our bells! and to Calais from Dover, 197

Russel on the ocean, minding Tourville’s motion, 128

Says Jack, ‘There is very good news,’ 228

Set every stitch of canvas to woo the fresh’ning breeze, 335

Sing we seamen, now and then, 27

Smile, smile, Britannia, smile, on Admiral Keppel smile, 257

Stout seamen, come away, never be daunted, 97

Strike up, you lusty gallants, with musick and sound of drum, 30

String up your hearts, and tune your throats, 63

The Chesapeake so bold, 311

The foes of Old England, France, Holland, and Spain, 262

The fourteenth of November, in Torbay as we lay, 217

The genius of Britain went hovering round, 279

The _George-Aloe_ and the _Sweep-stake_ too, 23

The muse and the hero together are fir’d (Captain Death), 205; (Captain Farmer), 260

The tars of Old England have long toil’d in vain, 280

The 28th of May the French fleet hove in sight, 268

The 21st of February, as I’ve heard people say, 220

The wat’ry god, great Neptune, lay, 218

The weather is clear, which was late overcast, 69

There happen’d of late a terrible fray, 72

Though with tears we lament our great Nelson’s demise, 302

Thursday in the morn, the Ides of May, 119

To all you ladies now at land, 56

To God alone let us all glory give, 114

To tame the Dutch, our treacherous foes, 283

To your quarters, my lads; we are now within shot, 158

’Twas at the landing place that’s just below Mount Wyse, 322

’Twas on the twenty-eighth of May, 271

Valiant Protestant boys, 117

Well may the world against us cry, 133

We’re the boys that fear no noise, 337

What can we luckless sailors do? 336

What means this silence, sirs? 48

What ship, honest brother sailor? 234

When first on board of a man-of-war, 236

When in the cockpit all was dim, 286

When the _Dartmouth_ friggot lay off the town, 92

Who does not extol our conquest marine? 153

Why does the poets abuse us, 145

Will you hear of a bloody battle, 166

William was a youthful lover, 326

With Monmouth cap, and cutlace by my side, 137

Ye bold British tars, who to glory are free, 243

Ye brave British sailors, true sons of the main, 225

Ye brave British tars, come, attend to my muse, 255

Ye gods above, protect a widow! 282

Ye landsmen all, I pray attend, who live at home at ease, 265

Ye Parliament of England, you Lords and Commons too, 308

Ye seamen who’s a mind to go in pursuit of new adventures, 226

You are welcome to London, dear Jack, 230

You brave English sailors that plow the ocean wide, 175

You Britons bold, that never was controul’d, 289

You captains and commanders both by land and sea, 307

You Frenchmen, don’t boast of your fighting, 274

You gentlemen of England fair, 113

You gentlemen of England, that lives at home at ease, 45

You heroes of England, I pray you attend, 216

You pretty maids of Greenwich, of high and low degree, 143

You sailors all of courage bold, 204

You undaunted sons of Britannia, lend an ear, 295

You’re welcome, my Billy, to the English shore, 146
