Drake - ZaunköniG - 10.04.2012 Drake "Deep chest, low stature, eyes most fair and clear, Full beard, fair face right cheerful to behold" - So shines El Draque, bright in story old As when great navies fled his face in fear: Bright as when reiving all a merry year He swept an ocean clean of fame and gold And sped with dancing heart and heavy hold up the fair Sound, home to his county dear. Two gifts he gave his England in her need: -Spain's galleons driving north beneath the blast While England's waves and guns roared loud in glee, -A cockboat manned with lads of Devon's breed That through the Straits of Death defiant passed And sped exulting o'er the unknown sea. |
