The Merchant.

Sir Standard Bearer, yield sore press'd.Thy banner from it's staff I wrest.The victorys won. The flag is mine.O'er thee I wave my red ensign.

Merchant! thy goods ha^t traded much.Despatched must thou be now as such.I'll take thee as thine own goods here,And pack thee in a funeral bier.
