’twas on the 28th of may, the morning being clear
a fleet to windward we espied; they frenchmen did appear
the signal for the same being made, the chase was soon begun
and then for battle we prepared, to show monsieurs some fun

our ship being cleared, the foe we neared, with expectations high
that we should show the murd’rous foe
that british courage still will flow
to make them strikе or die!

the famed bеllerophon began her cannons first to play
upon a three_decked ship of theirs, which could not run away
our hearts of gold their shot well told, in showers about her side
’till the leviathan came up, the battle to divide

then seeing plain ’twas quite in vain the contest more to try
she struck! and this does show that
british courage still will flow
to make them strike or die!

night coming on, the battle ceased, till phoebus rose again
when we beheld this trait’rous fleet still vaunting on the main
our line being formed, and all hearts warmed, the fight was soon renewed
determined to hand down that flag, which with contempt we viewed

lord howe engaged their hottest rage he broke their line to try
if such maneuvers would not shew
that british courage still will flow
to make them strike or die!
the battle warmly was maintained, much valour was displayed
till night, with all her sable train, the action still delayed
now since again all o’er the main these rebels can’t be found
we’ll toast our admirals in our glass; our girls, too, shall go round

each heart shall sing, “long live the king!” and each again reply
if e’er we’re called again we’ll show
that british courage still shall flow
to make them strike or die!
