To the Tune of, Valiant Jockey, &c.

[figure]

LEt the Trumpets sound a Charge,

While we our Forces do inlarge,

To Engage the common Enemy;

Boys, we'll either win the day or dye:

All the Counties far and near,

In shining Armour now appear,

With a Resolution will they stand,

To defend and Guard their Native Land:

All will Unite, and freely Fight,

For to put the Romans now to flight;

Better Advance, there take our chance,

Than to bear the heavy Yoke of France.

Tho' the Frenchmen Landed are,

We for their coming did prepare,

Shewing them such welcome to the Shore,

Which they never did expect before:

None shall e're return again,

For with our Valiant VVarlike Train;

VVe will Ring the Rogues a Passing Bell,

Sending them with speed to Pluto's Cell;

VVe'll never flinch, from the proud French,

Till we cut them off, both Root and Branch;

VVhy shou'd we fear, huffing Monsieur,

Valiant Courage soon the Coast will clear.

The Stout Valiant Men of Kent,

All with a Resolution bent,

Did ingage to meet this Mighty Foe,

Surry, Sussex, did the like also:

VVhen the French did understand,

That they would thus defend the Land;

They were forced straight to hoise up Sail,

Knowing that they should not there prevail:

De French-men said, me are afraid,

If deir Kingdom here we should Invade,

Youthful and Sage, all will Ingage,

Not a French-man will escape deir Rage.

Then they Steered to the West,

VVhich Shires as well as all the rest,

VVas resolv'd to let the French-men know,

That they should not unrewarded go:

VVhile they Anchor'd in Torbay,

The Beacons Fir'd was straightway,

VVhich allarum'd all the Counties round,

Loyal Boys with double Courage Crown'd:

No frightful Crys, all straight did rise,

That they might the French-men soon surprize;

Both Rich and Poor, flock'd to the Shore,

Twenty thousand Fighting-men and more.

London likewise will maintain,

For our Defence a VVarlike Train,

Valiant Men of Courage, Foot and Horse,

That they may the wretched Romans cross:

Though the Factious seem to Frown,

VVe'll pull their haughty Spirits down:

For our Gracious King and Queen we'll Fight,

Putting all their Enemies to flight:

The Royal Fleet, Boys, we'll compleat,

Which will make the French-men soon Retreat;

Both Land and Main, we will maintain,

Till our Gracious King returns again.

FINIS.

Creation

Created by converting TCP files to TEI P5 using tcp2tei.xsl, TEI @ Oxford.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
