Governor Sir Morgan of Jamaica 1674

Capt Henry Morgan is a bastard,
And a son of a Welsh whore,
His motto To life,love and loot!
Infamous privateer and buccaneer.

Spanish ships were attacked by his highness,
Admiral of 10 ships and 500 men!
Would you dare go against the king of pirate!
And governer of Jamaica.

His first battle at Santo domingo,
Ended in a failed attempt,
He next fought,won and raided,
The Spanish port of Provence!

Always dressed in red silk,
And wore fancy gold and jewels!
Morgan's fleet plundered, Fifty thousands pieces of eight!

Next in line of his sight,
Ransom Porto Bello for,
Two hundred thousands pieces of eight!!
And the destruction of her three fortress!!!

1670 he raided panama,
With 2 forces against,
One thousand and four hundreds mens!
And in1674 was knighted!

a big thank you big dauda
I find him the real (jack sparrow) and the genghis khan of the sea
fearless but not foolish
and a fine lesson to learn
is that the road to victory
is from defeat
at that time to control 500 of
the finest ruthless raiders is no
mean feat
and the complete destruction
of the Spanish Amanda fleet of Men of War!
but there is no happy ending for him
he is and Will always be the king of the sea
