  1. (continued from previous page)
    A gentleman of honour,
    Like wise of birth and fame.

    The Maherawarden people,
    They showed us no respect;
    They killed our gallant sailor boys
    And broke our captain's neck.

    Now to conclude and finish
    I mean to end my song;
    She was as good a frigate,
    As to the King belonged.

    She was well manned, we are told,
    To face the enemy,
    But Neptune brave that rules the seas
    Soon had conquered thee.
