Classic Poem

Honest Tom Tar , of unpacific fist ,
Plunder'd by Dons , he must not dare resist;
Longing, unlicens'd, to revenge his smart,
Curs'd 'em in valiant bitterness of heart.

GOD grant us grace , he cry'd, old debts to pay,
And give these rogues their own another day!
God teach Jack S PANIARD cowardice and flight ,
And teach O LD E NGLAND , in exchange, to fight .
Kind Heaven , with pity, heard the brave bold fellow ,
Gave his curse force — and Spain his F ARINELLO .
