Recitativt. O'er Thompson's nose, by Swiggins' fist imprest, Britannia weeps, — that face with bandage dress'd, But that bright nose shall never fade with years,' Whose tip, once blue, now blue and red appears. 'Twas in the Spithead Bay We saw Bill Swiggins lay, He loudly swearing, then ; We owed him for a joke Which at tbe British Oak, He leveird at our men — Our Thompson mark'd the wily knave. Three screams our outraged sweethearts gave. Nor thought of home or duty ; Before the shine this sig...nal ran, ** We owe a grudge to that 'ere man ; This day we'll spoil his beauty." And now we ply the oar. And stretching from the sho^e. Our Thompson clove the spray ; His ship the Sarah named, Long Sarah had been famed For squabbles night and day ; But dearly was our victory bought, Our hero's nose a stinger caught. For Sarah, home, and duty ; He cried, as to his foe he ran. ** We owe a grudge to that 'ere man. This day we'll spoil his beauty." But, oh ! the dreadful wound, Which sent the "claret " round.
