Now ſeamen all where'er you be,
I pray a warning take by me.
As you love your lives ſtill have a care,
That you never ſail with a murder.
'Tis never more I do intend,
For to croſs over the raging main,
But I'll live in peace in my own country,
And ſo I end my Tragedy.

The BLANCH Frigate.
You Frenchmen don't talk of your ſighting,
For talk of great deeds you have done,
Do you think that old England you,ll frighten,
As eaſy as Holland and Spain.
We lisſen and laugh at your threaten;
Your boaſting and valour advance
Since your boaſting Le Picque has been taken
By the brave jolly tars of the Blanch.
They ſail'd from the Bay of Point Peter,
Four hundred and fifty on board,
And we were all ready to fight them,
To conquer or die was the word.
Then the cans of good liquor was flowing,
We gave them three cheers to advance,
And courage in each heart was growing,
For cowards ne'er ſail'd in the Blanch.
