SONG XXII.
I
Sir Francis, Sir Francis his own Son,Sir William, Sir Thomas, and all did run,
Then came my Lord of Southhampton,
And shew'd himself a gallant Man.
II
Then came the Chamberlain with his Staff,And all the People 'gan to Laugh,
At length the Queen began to speak,
You'r welcome home Sir Francis Drake.
III
Ye Nobles all of Brittish Blood,Why Sayle ye not o're the Ocean Flood?
In truth you are not worth Filberd,
Compared to Sir Humphry Gilberd.
IV
For he went out on a Rainy day,To New-found-land he took his way,
Most Rare and Comely to be seen,
But never came back, (God save the Queen.
