V

He had only a hundred seamen to work the ship and to fight,

And he sailed away from Flores till the Spaniards came in sight,

With his huge sea-castles heaving upon the weather bow.

“Shall we fight or shall we fly?

Good Sir Richard, tell us now,

For to fight is but to die!

There’ll be little of us left by the time this sun be set.”

And Sir Richard said again: “We be all good English men.

Let us bang these dogs of Seville, the children of the devil,

For I never turned my back upon Don or devil yet.”

Tennyson

(The Revenge: A Ballad of the Fleet)
