Rondeau

The signal to engage shall be A whistle and a hollow, Be one and all but firm like me, And conquest soon will follow.

You Gunnel keep the helm in hand, Thus, thus boys, steady, steady; Till right a head you see the land, Then, soon as we are ready,

The signal, &c.

Keep boys a good look out, d'ye hear, 'Tis for old England's honour; Just as you've brought your lower tier Broadside to bear upon her,

The signal, &c.

All hands then, lads, the ship to clear, Load all your guns and mortars, Silent as death th' attack prepare, And, when your all at quarters,

The signal, &c.
