History & Politics
A Song on the same
From Naval Songs and Ballads, ed. C. H. Firth (1908)
History & Politics
As brave Sir Rooke Tholouse did beat,
So brave Tholouse beat him ;
But whensoe'er they meet again
George will his jacquet trim.
They both did fight, they both did beat,
They both did run away ;
They both did strive to meet again
The quite contrary way.
