From the London Evening Post.
SONG.
To the tune of-- "To all you ladies now at land."
Written by an Officer on Board Sir Charles Hardy's Fleet.
To all our countrymen at land, 
We men at sea indite, 
And hope they will not understand, 
That we're afraid to fight.
We'll never flinch, by all the Gods, 
Though two to one are fearful odds.
With a fal, lal, lal, la, la.
. . . [5 verses with burden "With a fal, lal, &c."]
