~Lyrics~

The fourteenth day of July,
With glistering spear and shield,
A famous fight in Flanders
Was foughten in the field;
The most courageous officers
Were English captains three,
But the bravest man in battle
Was brave Lord Willoughby

The next was Captain Norris',
A valiant man was he;
And the other, Captain Turner,
From field would never flee.
With fifteen hundred fighting men
Alas, there were no more,-
They fought with fourteen thousand men
Upon the Flanders shore.

"Stand to it, noble pikemen,
And look you round about!
And shoot you straight, you bowmen,
And we will keep them out!
You musquet and calivermen,
Do you stand true to me;
I'll be the foremost man in fight!"
Cries brave Lord Willoughby.

And then the fearful enemy,
We fiercely did assail;
And fought it out most furiously,
Not doubting to prevail.
The wounded men on both sides fell,
Most piteous[?] for to see,
Yet nothing could the courage quell
Of brave Lord Willoughby.

The steel-pointed arrows
And bullets thick did fly;
Which made our valiant soldiers
Charge on most furiously;
That made the Spaniards waver,
They thought it best to flee;
They feared the stout behaviour
Of brave Lord Willoughby.

And then the fearful enemy
Was quickly put to flight;
Our men pursued courageously
Which caught their horces quite.
And then at last they gave a shout
It echoed through the sky;
"God and Saint George for England!"
The conquerors did cry.
