A few of the sea songs written during the reign can be traced from the entries in the Stationers’ registers. Ballads were entered _On the Kings Navye_ on June 19, 1625; _A narrative of a sea-fight by the Lyon of London against 6 Turkish ships_ on January 2, 1635; _A new relation of 4 Englishmen that brought into Saint Lucar’s Turkish Pirates and their Ship_ on December 10, 1638; a _Ballad of the Seafight with three Turkish piratts_ on July 13, 1640; _A noble and notable Seafight_ on July 17, 1640. All these have perished. Half a dozen ballads on the sea-fights between the Spaniards and Dutch in the Channel in September 1639, and on the destruction of the Spanish fleet in the Downs by Tromp on October 10, 1639, were published. Of these one survives, in Wood’s collection in the Bodleian, entitled _A New Spanish Tragedy or More Strange News from the Seas_. In addition there are two amatory ballads, one registered June 13, 1631, called _A Sayler new come over_; the other, registered on July 18, 1636, _A dainty new ditty of the Sayler and his Love_, which is possibly the _Pleasant new song betwixt the Sayler and his Love_ reprinted in the _Roxburghe Ballads_, ii. 470. Yet the most famous of English naval ballads originated during this period. Martin Parker’s _Saylors for my Money_ is undoubtedly, as Mr. Ebsworth points out, the far back original of Campbell’s _Ye Mariners of England_ (_Roxburghe Ballads_, vi. 797). It has a rival in _The Jovial Mariner or the Seaman’s Renown_, by Lawrence Price (_ib._ vi. 639). _Neptune’s Raging Fury or The Gallant Seaman’s Sufferings_, which begins ‘You gentlemen of England,’ is an adaptation of Martin Parker’s ballad, written probably towards the end of Charles I.’s reign, or perhaps during the Protectorate (_ib._ vi. 431). All three are here reprinted (pp. 40-46). The third, _Neptune’s Raging Fury_, came to be known as _The Old Mariners_ to distinguish it from later adaptations, and an abridged version of it, consisting of the first, the eleventh, and the thirteenth verses, was current in Campbell’s time under the title of _The New Mariners_. Campbell borrowed from it his refrain, and the phrases, ‘roar on the shore’ and ‘sweep through the deep,’ and honestly entitled the verses he sent to the editor of the _Morning Chronicle_ in 1800, an _Alteration of the old ballad ‘Ye Gentlemen of England’_ (Beattie, _Life of Campbell_, i. 341).
