Honest Tom Tar's Prayer.
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.
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 Spaniard cowardice and flight,
And teach Old England, in exchange, to fight.
Kind Heaven, with pity, heard the brave bold fellow,
Gave his curse force—and Spain his Farinello.

God teach Jack Spaniard cowardice and flight,
And teach Old England, in exchange, to fight.
Kind Heaven, with pity, heard the brave bold fellow,
Gave his curse force—and Spain his Farinello.
