At laſt grave Damon made his ſuit,
ſhe liſten'd to his tale;
He pled a genuine virtuous love,
and virtue did prevail.
The choice approv'd, to lend his aid,
Thalius did not fail
Each vale reſounded with the praise
of Damon and his Bell.
This Maid, &c
THE BRAVE SAILOR.
Ye gallant ſouls, who beat ſo high
with Britiſh glory in each vein;
From his example learn to die,
whoſe honour never knew one ſlain.
At break of day two ſail appear'd
and on the larboard-quarter ſtood;
For action ſtraight the decks were clear'd,
which ſoon, alas were dy'd, with blood!
My friend maintain'd the unequal fight,
till bringing all his guns to bear,
