VIII.
A famous Island, and of great ImportTo England, startled with the loud Report
Of his amazing Actions, trembling stands:
To this strong Isle begirt with Rocks and Sands
He sails, and Greenvil summons (that stout Knight,
Then Chief Commander there) the State to right
By his Surrender, or he must be sure
The Fury of his valiant Arm endure.
Whilst Trump then hovering with his Fleet in vain
Solicits with vast Sums the same to gain;
At length upon Blake's sight he doth retreat,
Or rather fly: By this Commander great,
Now Scilly is reduced to the State,
And Joy of English Merchants, who of late
Could not for fear of this new Dunkirk trade,
So rich and high by warlike Plundrings made.
