g.—THE COASTS OF BARBARY.
j There were two ships from England set sails, Blow high ! blow low! and so sailed we. The King of Prussia and the Prince of Wales, Cruising down the coasts of Barbary.
2 There's naught ahead, sirs, nothing astern,
Blow high ! blow low ! and so sailed we. But a lofty vessel to windward would turn, Cruising down the coasts of Barbary.
3 Then hail her, the captain call'd o'er the side,
Blow high! blow low! and so sailed we. Be you a privateer, then he cried,
Cruising down the coasts of Barbary ?
4 I am a privateer, sirs, to-day,
Blow high! blow low! and so sailed we. A saucy privateer, sirs, after prey, Cruising down the coasts of Barbary.
5 Then broadsides on the gallant vessels go,
Blow high! blow low! and so sailed we. Away her mainmast did we English blow. Cruising: down the coasts of Barbarw
6 For mercy then how the rascals cried,
Blow hi^h ! blow low! and so sailed we. The mercy shown was to sink them in the tide, Cruising down the coasts of Barbary.
7 With cutlass and gun, they fought hours three,
Blow high ! blow low! and so sailed we. The ship their coffin, their grave the sea. Cruising down the coasts of Barbary. |
