The SEA-Martyrs; / OR, / The Seamen's sad Lamentation for their Faithful Ser- / vice, Bad Pay, and Cruel Usage. / Being a woful Relation how some of them were unmercifully put to / Death for pressing for their Pay, when their Families were like / to starve. / Thus our New Government does Subjects serve, / And leaves them this sad choice to hang or starve. | |
