<p>In the yeare o' 1654, Dundee, Scotlande, William Kidd was borne. I hath hearde it erroneouslie report'd that he was borne in 1645 in Greenock. I hath founde no reason to confirme, norre denye eithre o' these theories.</p>
|
|
<p>His father was a Captain o' the sea, that I am surre of. He was killed there, butte this did notte deterre Kyde from putting to sea himself. He woulde hath founde'd himself in bettre circumstances if he had.</p>
|
|
<p>He foughte forre an Englishe Governorre in the Carribbeanne but was unpaid. Aftrewardes he was given a lettre of marque from William and Mary, and tooke greate pride in picking alle his officres and menne. But foolishly, afterre refusing to salute a vesselle o' the Royale Navy, the Captain was vengefulle and gave chase. Kid was forced to give uppe manie o' his crewe due to impressment. I dislike this vile practice.</p>
|
|
<p>Kidde was no foole and realize'd he need'd morre crewe. And so, he wente to Boston where he was welle-connecte'd and recuruit'd manie menne o' a less respectable demeanorre to his bannre. Manie formre pyrates.</p>
|
|
<p>He set aboute and he hadde badde relations with his crewe fromme the beginning forre refusing to take a Dutche shippe as a prize since the King William (God save him) was Dutche. Later on, his crewe were shock'd when a young William Moore mouth'd offe to Kid. Theye were morre shock'd when Kid, overcome with rage and furie grabb'd a bucket and threwe it righte at Moore's heade, mortallie woundeing him. He dye'd the next daye.</p>
|
|
<p>He sail'd for Madagascar to fighte a Pyrate but sadlie his crewe desert'd him forre the Pyrate. He escape'd, with a smaller shippe but the crowne knewe he'd murder'd Moore and had him broughte uppe on charges o' Murder and Pyracie. He would be hang'd, gibbot'd and forgotten.</p>
|
|
<p>Lorde reste his soule.</p>
