<L>THey had no &s;ooner &s;poken,</L>
<L>but &s;traight appear'd in &s;ight,</L>
<L>Three lu&s;ty Spani&s;h Ve&s;&s;els,</L>
<L>of warlike force and might;</L>
<L>With bloody Re&s;olution,</L>

<L>Then fir&s;t came up their Admiral,</L>
<L>them&s;elves for to advance,</L>
<L>In her &s;he bore full forty eight</L>
<L>peices of Ordinance:</L>

<L>Our gallant Ship had in her,</L>
<L>full Forty Fighting men;</L>
<L>With twenty peices of Ordinance,</L>
<L>we play'd about them then:</L>
<L>And with Powder, Shot, &amp; Bullets,</L>
<L>we did imploy them &s;till,</L>
<L>And thus began the Fight,</L>

<L>Let us fight in the defence</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>of our Angel Gabriel.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Then we gave them a Broad&s;ide,</L>
<L>which &s;hot their Ma&s;t a&s;under,</L>
<L>And tore the Bolt-&s;pret of their Ship,</L>
<L>which made the Spaniards wonder:</L>
<L>And cau&s;ed them to try,</L>
<L>with voices loud and &s;hrill,</L>
<L>Help, help, or el&s;e we &s;ink</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>by the Angel Gabriel.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Yet de&s;perately they Boarded us</L>
<L>for all our valiant &s;hot,</L>
<L>Three&s;core of their be&s;t Fighting men</L>
<L>upon our Decks was got.</L>
<L>And then at their fir&s;t entrance,</L>
<L>full thirty we did kill.</L>
<L>And thus we clear'd our Decks</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>of the Angel Gabriel.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>With that their three &s;hips Boarded us</L>
<L>again with might and main,</L>
<L>But &s;till our noble <HI>Engli&s;h-men,</HI></L>
<L>cry'd out a Fig for <HI>Spain,</HI></L>
<L>Though &s;even times they Boarded us</L>
<L>at la&s;t we &s;hew'd our skill,</L>
<L>And made them feel the force</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>of our Angel Gabriel.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Seven hours this Fight continued,</L>
<L>and many brave men lay Dead,</L>
<L>With purple gore, and Spani&s;h blood,</L>
<L>the Sea was coloured red</L>
<L>Five hundered of their men,</L>
<L>we there outright did kill,</L>
<L>And many more were maim'd</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">

<LG>
<L>They &s;eeing of the&s;e bloody &s;poils,</L>
<L>the re&s;t made ha&s;t a way,</L>
<L>For why they &s;aw it was no boot,</L>
<L>any longer for to &s;tay,</L>
<L>Then they fled into <HI>Cales,</HI></L>
<L>and there they mu&s;t lye &s;till,</L>
<L>For they never more will dare to meet,</L>
</LG>
<LG TYPE="refrain">

</LG>
<LG>
<L>We had within our Engli&s;h Ship.</L>
<L>but only three men &s;lain,</L>
<L>And five men hurt, the which I hope,</L>
<L>will &s;oon be well again:</L>
<L>At <HI>Bri&s;tol</HI> we were Landed,</L>
<L>and let us prai&s;e God &s;till,</L>
<L>That thus hath ble&s;t our men,</L>

<L>Now let me not forget to &s;peak,</L>
<L>of the Gift given by the Owner,</L>
<L>Of the <HI>Angel Gabriel.</HI></L>
<L>that many years have known her,</L>
<L>Two hundered pounds in coyn &amp; plate</L>
<L>he gave with free good will.</L>
<L>Vnto them that bravely fought,</L>
