So we are Masters of the Main,

Our Fleet must always the Trade maintain,

If we are not Banter'd and Bubbl'd.

And Cheated and Banter'd and Bubbl'd.

We very well know when Marlborough,

Did take the Towns in Flanders;

'Twas English-men, did pay for them,

Tho' they put in Dutch Commanders;

So that while we were humbling France,

Hollands Power we did advance,
