"And therefore the government justly hath hee,
Come love mee where I lay;
Of horse for the land, and shipps for the sea--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way.

"What, though our fleet be our enemies debtor,
Come love mee where I lay;
Wee brav'd them once, and wee'l brave them better--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way.

"And should they land heere they should bee disjointed,
Come love mee where I lay;
And find both our horse and men bravely appointed--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way.

"Then let us sing all of this nobel duke's praise,
Come love mee where I lay;
And pray for the length of his life and his daies--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way.

"And when that death shall close up his eyes,
Come love mee where I lay;
God take him up into the skies--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way."
