"Who is hee could now from his grave but ascend,
Come love mee where I lay;
Would surely the truth of his service commend--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way.

"The king understands how he honors his place,
Come love me where I lay;
Which is to his majestie noe little grace--
The cleane contrary way,
O the cleane contrary way.

"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.
