A New Map of Dunkirke New Fr
From English Broadside Ballads (TCP)
When Lilo Fort upon the Skeld was made
With speed from Antwerp then departed Trade,
And Holland now that Fort doth still maintain,
Which hath to Amsterdam increast much gain.
Beware now London, ere it be too late,
For fear lest thou dost tast of Antwerp's Fate.
But use all means, with might and main,
To keep the Seas for Merchants gain.
