    Out spoke the victor then,
    As he hail'd them o'er the wave,
    Ye are brothers! ye are men!
    And we conquer but to save;
    So peace instead of death let us bring;
    But yield, proud foe, let us bring;
    With the crews, at England's feet,
    And make submission meet
    To our King.
