<L>LEt the Trumpets &s;ound a Charge,</L>
<L>While we our Forces do inlarge,</L>
<L>To Engage the common Enemy;</L>
<L>Boys, we'll either win the day or dye:</L>
<L>All the Counties far and near,</L>
<L>In &s;hining Armour now appear,</L>
<L>With a Re&s;olution will they &s;tand,</L>
<L>To defend and Guard their Native Land:</L>
<L>All will Unite, and freely Fight,</L>
<L>For to put the <HI>Romans</HI> now to flight;</L>
<L>Better Advance, there take our chance,</L>
<L>Than to bear the heavy Yoke of <HI>France.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Tho' the <HI>Frenchmen</HI> Landed are,</L>
<L>We for their coming did prepare,</L>
<L>Shewing them &s;uch welcome to the Shore,</L>
<L>Which they never did expect before:</L>
<L>None &s;hall e're return again,</L>

<L>They were forced &s;traight to hoi&s;e up Sail,</L>

<L>De <HI>French-men</HI> &s;aid, me are afraid,</L>
<L>If deir Kingdom here we &s;hould Invade,</L>
<L>Youthful and Sage, all will Ingage,</L>
