To Sir F.F: neer Darby Shire upon Prince Rupert the Duke of Cumberlands Voyage to Ginny set out in Octobr. 64: — and Captain Homeses success against the Hollanders upon that Coast A Ballet
Strike up the Horn-pipes play some Giggs
For we shall now have Ginny-Piggs
Instead of Darby Sowes of Lead
Since Project now is brought a bed
And Cumberland dispatched hence
To curb the Hogens Insolence
Teach Butter-box to know his Bred
Through Our Protection's better spred
Into Obedience Mogens t'Bring
To Fear a Monarch Prise a King
And in a short space shew to view
How they may Bake as They did Brew
And Pay those Cruelties before
They'd acted on Amboynas shore
Usurping All of India's Bounds
Wher those set footing on the Grounds
Away yea Water-Ratts away
Teach Porposes 'Gainst storms to Play
Pack to your Element and Homes
For now that warlike Captain Comes
To bid your Petty Friggot, Pinke
Strike Sayle (or in two words) goe sink
And that yea wander no more Erring
Vittle with Poor Jhon Pickle Herring
And fortefy with Brande-wine
As yea are Tost upon the Brine
Upon the wave our Castles swimm
With their spred Canvas in a Trimm
Not built i'th'Ayre but carrying Fire
With Which presenting from Each Tier
Such Prowesses on purpose sent
T'Amaze and guive Astonishment
To the Behowlders; quell the Pride
Of such a Traytrous Brood beside

For Hart and Strength to manners
And souldiers too: which mustred heer

Post Script to the Voyage
Let Hollands Fleet no more be Feard
