Therefore again I say, if you be wise,
Let this for once pass free; let it suffise
That we your Soveraing power here to avow,
Thus humbly ere we pass, strike sail to You.

Stay Gentlemen; what I have said, was all
But forc'd submission, which I now recall.
Ye're all but Pirats now again; for here
Does the true Soveraign of the Seas appear.
The Soveraign of these Narrow Seas of wit;
'Tis his own Thames; He knows and Governs it.
'Tis his Dominion, and Domain; as Hee
Pleases, 'tis either Shut to us or Free.
Not onely, if his Pasport we obtain,
We fear no little Rovers of the Main,
But if our Neptune his calm visage show,
No Wave shall dare to Rise or Wind to Blow.
