THE SAILOR'S ADDRESS.
Come listen my cocks, to a brother and friend, 
One and all to my song, gallant sailors, attend, 
Sons of Freedom ourselves, let's be just as we're brave
Nor America's freedom attempt to enslave.
  Firm as oak are our hearts, where true glory depends, 
  Steady, boys, steady, 
  We'll always be ready
  To fight all our foes, not to murder our friends. 
. . . [5 more verses with burden, "Firm as oak, &c."]
