They ſailed eaſt, they ſailed weſt,
but nothingg could eſpy,
Until they came to the very spot,
where Captain Ward did ly.
Who is the owner of this ſhip?
the Rainbow then did cry.
O here am I ſaid Captain Ward,
let no man me deny.
What brought you here you cowardly dog?
you ugly wanton thief,
What makes you ly an anchor,
and keep our king in grief.
You lie, you lie ſaid Captain Ward,
ſo well as I hear you lie
I never robb'd a, Engiiſhman,
an Engliſhman but three.
As for the worthy Scotsmen,
I love then as mint own
you delight as for to pull
the French and Spaniards down.
Why ſayed thou ſo, thou bold robber,
we'll foe humble thy pride.
With that that the gallant Rainbow,
gave Ward a broadſide.
Full fiſts good braſs cannons,
well charg’d on every ſide.
And then they fired their great guns,
and gave Ward a broadſie.
