| Which groweth o'er the Main | F |
| With Teas and Cottons for our Need | E |

| Their Comings We no more regard | G |
| Than daily Corn or Oil | H |
| Yet when Men waft Them Englandward | G |
| How infinite the Toil | H |

| Nation and People harvesteth | I |
| The tropique Lands among | J |
| And Engines of tumultuous Breath | I |

| Which presently struck down | L |
| Into our Navies' labouring Wombs | A |
| Make Pennyworths in Town | L |
