nor of enemies afraid, Sir:
And little, little did they think,
when this ground they stood on, Sir,

The GOLDEN DAYS WE now POSSESS

A Sequel to the favourite Song of good Q Bess

In the praise of Queen Bess,
lofty longs have been sung, Sir;
And her fame has been echo'd
by old and by young. Sir;

we'll for once turn our eyes, Sir,
As the times we enjoy,
'tis but wisdom to prize, Sir

That whate'er were the days of good Q. Bess,
Let us praise the golden days we now possess

Without armies combat, or
armadas to withstand. Sir,
Our loss at our feet, and this
sword in our hand. Sir;
Lasting peace we secure, while
we're Lords of the sea, Sir,
