At which time they were entertained by that honourable Company . After a Song in four parts , at the conclusion of a Chorus , Enter a Sea-Captain . LEt me make one too ; are you grown so stout , To contrive Peace , and leave the Seaman out ? Have you in those large Bowls which Plenty gave yee , Drank off the Ocean , and swallow'd the Navy ? You never think upon our Rocks and shelves , So you may snudge in quiet by your selves ; Are not you Britains ? Is not Navigation The only Guard and Glory of the Nation ? Can you have Treasure brought without a Fleet ? What is it gilds Cheapside and Lumbard Street But our Sea trade ? By our cutting the curl'd Ocean ye hold Commerce with all the World . VVhence come your costly Carpettings , and VVorks That grace the Chambers of triumphant Turks , But from beyond-Sea ? Whence comes all your gold , For which , by some , both Law and Gospel's sold , But from beyond-Sea ? And wise men of trust Beleeve , if ever we have Peace agen , it must Come from beyond-Sea ; And d'ye goe about To make a Peace , and leave the Main-Mast out ? But where 's my Admiral ? Oh! I have spy'd him , His Merits are so cleer no Clouds can hide him . I must go droll with him though , What Chear hey ? Up to the Ears in Custard , here 's a fray Compounded without bloudshed ; these would be Good bitts upon a March , George , or at Sea : When , in the fury of tempestuous weather , Wee and our meat were pickled up together . Here are pure Quarters , Plenty keeps her spring In London , 'T is a City for a King . I came just now ashore to speak with you Directly up to Goldsmiths-Hall , I knew VVhere I should find you out : You love to settle VVith honest Hearts , and Men of the best Mettle . They love St. George , and yet they highly set A value on St. * Dunstan , they 'r well met , They both did put the Devil in a dump , One had him by the Nose , tother the Rump , And thereby hangs a tayl . When I came hither , My business , and my boldnesse mixt together Made me thrust in : Where crowd you ? ( cry'd they all ) Quoth I , to speak with my LORD GENERAL , I 'm one of his Sea Captains ; presently The Master and the generous Company All bad me welcom , and did strongly woo Me to bid you so , and this * Council too In these , or such like words ; they bad me say The Sunn 's not welcomer to a dark day , Than you unto this City : for you are Temp'rate in Undertakings , Stont in Warr , Prudent in Councils , Quick when Dangers call , Secret in great designs , Honest in All : 'T would make the greatest Rebell quite renounce ill , To see but such a Souldier , such a Council . God prosper both , and may you never cease , Till you have brought home the bright Princesse Peace , That long-lost Lady : Could we make a Crown As rich as that was worn by Solomon , Rather than we would lose her , or displease her , ( I mean fair Peace ) wee 'd give that Crown to scize her ▪ If any other Speech be printed , pretended to be spoken in Goldsmiths Hall , they are Counterfeits , and none true but this .
