GEntlemen, if you will hear  
Noble tidings from Argeir,  
our worthy and our famous English Fleet,  
●●nd your ears a while to me,  
And you shall hear how gallantly,  
our royal Navy with the Turks did meet.   

●●rst, you must understand,  
●●ouided from fair England,  
our well approved Men of War did go,  
●●auely managed to the Sea,  
〈◊〉 their lusty bold a●ray,  
the valiant hearts of Englishmen to show.   

●●ong the coasts of Germany,  
●y Portugal and Barbary,  
through the straits, into the Turkish land,  
●ur English Navy failed on,  
●●t found no prize to work upon,  
nor any Ships that durst against them stand,   

until that in November,  
〈◊〉 we may well remember,  
we did arrive and lie before Argeir;  
whilst we there at Anchor lay,  
●●arefull visions on the Sea,  
did from a black and bloody Moon appear.   

●he Moon so won and dusky,  
●hich is the arms of Turkey,  
there suffered such a black eclipsed vale,  
●ith which the face of all the Sky,  
●as darkened over suddenly,  
with pitchy clouds all bloody, black, and pale.   

This, in the Town of Argeir,  
Rumoured out a sudden fear  
amongst the Turks to see so strange a sign  
As though this black Eclipse did show,  
To that Town some following woe,  
so fearful showed the darkened Moon that night.   

But when the Sun's adorning  
Gave light unto the Morning,  
a Pinnace came unto our English Fleet,  
To know the cause and reason why  
They did so near at Anchor lie,  
whom they with courtesy did kindly greet   

And said, they lay for shelter  
There, under wind and weather,  
and thereupon their Flags of truce hang forth  
Which caused some Pashas come aboard,  
And to Lord General afford  
such needful things as was to them much worth   

And to prevent all dangers,  
Thy proved friendly strangers,  
and brought aboard some forty fatted sheep,  
Lions, Leopards, and such things,  
As are presents fit for Kings,  
themselves in peace and safety to keep.   

Young Apes, with Catamountains,  
Fresh water from their Fountains,  
with Ruske in barrels, & such Turkish food,  
As Hogsheads filled with wine and Beer  
With such like things thy brought in there,  
to save their Town, and do our Navy good,
