The Valiant hearted Seaman; Declaring a late Skirmish fought between our English Fleet and the Dutch.  
Wherein the Dutch was worsted, two of the Dutch ships sunk, and two taken as lawful Prize, with a very small loss on our English side.  
The tune is, Lusty Stukely.  
 

BRave Gallants now of England  
Cheer up your hearts, and firmly stand  
Against all people which oppose our King  
Let us sight with hearts lusty and stout,  
To keep all Foreign Nations out,  
Let Valour still the same of England ring.   

The Haul ander as I am fold  
adventure new to be so void  
As to oppose our Gracious King to fight.  
For truth it is I understand  
They have some English in their Land  
That right or wrong would do England a spite   

In Histories we all may read  
brave England ne'er was conquered,  
But in five hundred seventy years ago  
by William Duke of Normandy,  
yet Kent held out most valiantly  
And met that Duke so gallantly their foe.   

Brave England than he not dismayed,  
the Lord above will send you aid  
If hand in hand you all together join  
'tis not the Turk nor Spaniard's pride  
nor Butter box which Traitors guide  
Shall ever daunt this valiant heart of mine,   
 
 

THe Duke of York himself is pleased  
Chief Admiral upon the Seas  
To venture life and limb for England's right,  
therefore our Valiant Seamen hold  
doth now while life and limb doth hold  
They will engage the Hollanders to fight.   

there is now a Subject in this Land  
but willing is with helping hand  
To venture still for England's Liberty.  
therefore prepare you Hollander  
which now is bend to civil War  
We do intend to make you fight or fly.   

In Fifty two, full well you know  
England gave you an overthrow  
How bore you now for to Resist again?  
your Service then was not so hot,  
as now shall be our Cannon shot  
we will make you yield or sink into the Pain   

a Gallant Fleet we have at Sea  
well armed, and bravely man'd they be  
And men of Courage, Valiant, hold and stout  
fear not in England but we shall  
give all our enemies the fall  
Ere long, of it you need not make a doubt.   

an● now you Valiant Seamen all  
there up I hear the Bowson call  
See where the Fleet of Enemies do lie.  
let Drums now beat, and Trumpets sound  
and Canoniers turn your Guns round  
Brave English hearts will scorn a foot to fly.   

See where our Tiger Rides amain,  
the Dolphin and the Pelican.  
The Charles, the James, the Lion, and the Boar,  
with many a Gallant ship beside,  
hoping to cool the Dutchman's pride  
See how they fly along the Holland shore.   

See Valiant hearts, we are for battle  
hark how the thundering Guns do rattle.  
The Lord above, I hope is on our side  
stand to it now brave hearts so stout  
see how the Dutchmen wheels about  
They cannot long this Service hot abide.   

me thinks I see a top sail fall  
before our Noble General  
Some loss is sure within the Enemy.  
I hope ere long we all shall see  
brave England get the Victory,  
That we may live in Peace and Unity,   

two Dutch ships sunk as we hear say  
and two is carried quite away  
The rest no longer would abide our shot  
our Guns so rattles in their ear  
I hope ere long we all shall hear  
They will repent that they begun the plot.   
J. R.  
FINIS.   

So the Lord preserve little England,  
Convert O God, her Foes  
That we may live in quietness,  
our Enemy's Plots disclose.
