He had only a hundred seamen to work the ship and to fight,

And he sailed away from Flores till the Spaniard came in sight,

With his huge sea-castles heaving upon the weatherbow.

Good Sir Richard, tell us now,

For to fight is but to die!

And Sir Richard said again: "We be all good Englishmen.

Let us bang these dogs of Seville, the children of the devil,

For I never turn'd my back upon Don or devil yet."
