<L>whose gallant mind hath won him great re|nown</L>
<L>To live an land he counts it ba&s;e</L>
<L>But &s;eeks to purchase greater grace,</L>
<L>by Robing on the Ocean up and down,</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>His heart is &s;o a&s;piring</L>
<L>That now his chief de&s;iring</L>
<L>Is for to win himself a worthy name</L>
<L>The Land hath far too little ground,</L>
<L>The Sea is of a larger bound,</L>
<L>and of a greater dignity and fame.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Now many a worthy Gallant</L>
<L>Of courage now mo&s;t valiant,</L>

<L>but by the&s;e Pyrates have received lo&s;s</L>
<L>Merchant men of every Land,</L>
<L>Do daily in great danger &s;tand</L>

<L>They make Children fatherle&s;s</L>
<L>Wofull widows in di&s;tre&s;&s;e</L>
<L>in &s;hedding blood they took too much delight.</L>
<L>Fathers they bereave of &s;ons,</L>
<L>Regardin<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="under-inked" EXTENT="1 letter"> neither cries nor moans,</L>
<L>&s;o much they joy to &s;ee a bloody fight.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>They count it gallant hearing</L>
<L>To hear the Canons roaring,</L>
<L>and Musket-&s;hot to rattle in the sky.</L>
<L>Their glories would &s;o at the highe&s;t</L>
<L>To fight again&s;t the foes of Chri&s;t</L>
<L>and &s;uch as do our Chri&s;tian faith deny.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>But their cur&s;ed Villanies</L>
<L>And their bloody Pyracies.</L>
<L>are chiefly bent again&s;t our Chri&s;tian friends</L>
<L>Some Chri&s;tians &s;o delight in evils,</L>
<L>That they become the &s;ons of Divels</L>
<L>and for the &s;ame have many &s;hameful ends</L>

<L>Many <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Marchant men,</L>
<L>And of <HI>London</HI> now and then,</L>
<L>have ta&s;ted of their vile extremity,</L>

<L><HI>Londons Elizabeth</HI></L>
<L>Of late the&s;e Rovers taken have,</L>
<L>a &s;hip well laden with rich Merchandi&s;e</L>

<L>The <HI>Trojan of London</HI></L>
<L>With other &s;hips many a one,</L>
<L>hath &s;tooped &s;ail and yielded out of hand,</L>
<L>These Pyrates they have &s;hed their bloods,</L>
<L>And the Turks have bought their goods,</L>
<L>being all too weak their power to with&s;tand,</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Of <HI>Hull</HI> and <HI>Bonaventer</HI></L>
<L>Which was a great frequenter</L>
<L>and pa&s;&s;er of the Straits to <HI>Barbary,</HI></L>
<L>Both Ship and men late taken were,</L>

<L>These Pyrates thus divided</L>
<L>By God is &s;ure provided</L>
<L>in &s;eceret &s;ort to work each others woe,</L>
<L>Such wicked cour&s;es cannot &s;tand,</L>
