A PROJECT For MANNING His Majesy's ROYAL NAVY.

I

Whilst dull Projectors toil in vain
To Man the Royal Fleet,
And all their Schemes contriv'd with Pain,
Such Opposition meet.

II

Methinks how easy were the Thing,
By Methods worthy Freemen,
Both for the Honour of the King,
And Service of the Seamen.

III

Nor is my Scheme at all confus'd,
For no Bye Purpose made,
Let them like English Men be us'd,
And regularly paid.
