We sometimes sail to th’ Indies, That live at home at ease,

To fetch home spices rare; Ah, little do you think upon

Sometimes again, io France and Spain, The dangers of the seas;

For wines beyond compare; Give ear unto the mariners,

Whilst gallants are carousing,

In taverns on a row, And they will plainly show [All] the cares, and the fears,

Then we sweep o'er the deep, When the stormy winds do blow.

When the stormy winds do blow. All you that will be seamen,

When tempests are blown over, Must bear a valiant heart,

And greatest fears are past, For when you come upon the seas

In weather fair, and temp'rate air, You must not think to start;

We straight lie down to rest; Nor once to be faint-hearted,

But when the billows tumble, In hail, rain, blow, or snow,

And waves do furious grow, Nor to think for to shrink

Then we rouse, up we rouse, When the stormy winds do blow.

When the stormy winds do blow. The bitter storms and tempests

If enemies oppose us, Poor seamen do endure,

When England is at war Both day and night, with many a fright,

With any foreign nations, We seldom rest secure ;

We fear not wound nor scar; Our sleep it is disturbed

Our roaring guns shall teach 'em With visions strange to know,

Our valor for to know, And with dreams on the streams,

Whilst they reel, in the keel, When the stormy winds do blow.

When the stormy winds do blow. In claps of roaring thunder,

We are no cowardly shrinkers, Which darkness doth enforce,

But true Englishmen bred, We often find our ship to stray

We'll ply our parts, like valiant hearts, Beyond her wonted course :

And never fly for dread; Which causeth great distractions,

We'll play our business nimbly And sinks our hearts full low;

Whene'er we come or go, "Tis in vain to complain,

With our mates, to the Straits, When the stormy winds do blow.

Then courage, all brave mariners, Our ship is tost in waves,

And never be dismay'd, And ev'ry man expecting

Whilst we have bold adventurers The sea to be their graves !

Our merchants will employ us, And down again so low,

To fetch them wealth, I know; 'Tis with waves, () with waves,

Then be bold, work for gold, When the stormy winds do blow.

When the stormy winds do blow. Then down again we fall to pray'r,

When we return in safety, With all our might and thought,

With wages for our pains, When refuge all doth fail us,

The tapster and the vintner 'Tis that must bear us out;

Will help to share our gains : To God we call for succour,

We call for liquor roundly, For he it is, we know,

And pay before we go :
That must aid us, and save us,

Then we'll roar on the shore,
When the stormy winds do blow.

This last fleet was fited out for the purpose of restoring King James the Second to his dominions; and that prince, together with the Duke of Berwick, and several great officers both of his own court and of the court of France, and even Tourville himself, beheld the final destruction of the French ships from an eminence on the shore. It is now certain that Russel had engaged to favor the scheme of his old master's restoration, on condition that the French took care to avoid him; but Tourville's impetuosity and rashness rendered the whole measure abortive: and the distressed and ill-fated monarch retired in a fit of despondency, to mourn his misfortunes, and recover his peace of mind, amid the solitary gloom of La Trappe.
