From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“ Come, all you brave boys, whose courage is bold,

Will you venture with me? I’ll glut you with gold.
Make haste unto Corona: a Ship you will find,
That’s called the Fancy, will pleasure your mind.
Captain Every is in her, and calls her his own;
He will box her about, boys, before has done.
French, Spaniard, and Portuguese, the heathen likewise,
He has made a war with them until that he dies.

 ”

—A Copy of Verses, Composed by Captain Henry Every (1696)
