Galleons

How many galleons per mile Were spread the grand Armada fleet, Hoping strong England to defile After a huge naval defeat? Surging steady through stormy seas How many galleons per mile To drag brave England to its knees With solemn Spaniards sans smiles? Dark clouded seas were fierce and vile. Tempest scattered ships hit the coast How many galleons per mile Could Philip, king of Spain, still boast? From Cornwall’s shores to Calais rocks Drake’s large guns, beyond denial, Scattered and sunk Spain’s sons, in shock. How many galleons per mile?
