BE VALIANT STILL etc
A NEW SONG
Much in Request,
Being the advice of an experienced Lady
in Martial Affairs, to her Lover a
young Soldier,
Tune of An old Carle to daunten me,

BE valiant still, be valiant still,
Be stout and great, and valiant still,
And I'll embrace you in my Arms.
And please you with Loves pleasant Charms
And then my heart shall be at rest,
In the thoughts of him whom I love best,
Be valiant still, be valiant still,
Be stout and great, and valiant still.

And I will place you on a Stage,
To fight a Duel you must engage,
And from all wounds you shall be clear,
You'll gain the Prize you need not fear
Be valiant still, be valiant still,
Be stout and great, and valiant still,

And if you'll try that manly sport,
Ill make you Captain of a Fort,
And shew you how to lay the Siege;
And fire when e're occasion needs,
Be valiant still, be valiant still,
Be stout and great, and valiant still,

And if you'll venture to scale the Wall,
I'll make you General of all,
Be stout and great, and alwayes bold,
And without all doubt you'll gain the Hold,
Be valiant still, be valiant still,
Be stout and great, and valiant still.

And if a City will not yeild,
Then place your Tents into the Field,
Throw in your Bom-balls then at large.
But be sure your Peice be soundly charg'd;
Be valiant still, be valiant still,
Be stout and great, and valiant still.


FINIS,
