A river or moat runs around the front of the city, near its wall, and then curls off to the top right corner of the cut. The town consists of a central church with steeple or bell tower, and many smaller houses and outbuildings. In the foreground, across the river from the town, strategically placed cannons fire at the town. Eight cannons are visible. A few soldiers can be seen firing cannons.

Y Ou that desire newes, list to my story; Some it will make to muse, some will be sorry, Some will rejoyce thereat, others will wonder, To see the barke and tree parted asunder. This of a certaine for truth it is spoken, That Hollands Leager, up lately is broken. Such Ensignes were displaid to amaze Holland The like hath seldome been, I thinke in no land. From many parts there hath gallants resorted; Because the fame thereof they heard reported: Yet some their labour lost, for it is spoken, That Hollands, etc. The flaunting Spaniard , and boone Cavillera The bragging Dutchman thought cost him deare a: Wallouns and Switzer , both Jewes, Turke and Neager Scots, Danes and French ,
have been at Hollands Leager. Yet all would not availe, for it is spoken, That Hollands, etc. Though many sought to invade the strong Iland, And stratagems devised by sea and by land, Rumors were spred abroad, fames Trumpet sounding, Their Sconce so firmely stood, they fear'd no wounding: But yet for all their pompe, thus it is spoken, That Hollands, etc. The great god Jupiter did well affect her: And Mars the god of warre, did so protect her, His martiall discipline made her so valiant, She durst in battell joyne with any Gallant: Yet though she valour had, thus it is spoken, That Hollands, etc. Belloniaes blustring shot, they never feared, But bravely face to face, the Champions dared:
She seldome tooke the foyle by friend or stranger, Unless a backe recoyle put her in danger, But yet for all their pomp, thus it is spoken, That Hollands, etc. Blow for blow, shot for shot still they returned, But sliding Cowards she ever disdained: If any younker the Island doe venter, Without admittance no partie could enter. But tho they were so stout thus it is spoken, That Hollands Leager is lately up broken . The draw-bridge being up taken they durst to, Stand to push of pike and give a thrust too: Those that gave onset sometimes got th' worst ont, And at their parting most dearly have curst ont But however it is spoken that Hollands Leager Up lately is broken .

B Ulworkes and batteries and other fences Duly manteined the Iland expences: Store of musition, and all things at pleasure, Fit for this company gold and rich treasure They had at her command yet it is, etc. Now since the Leager broke and they are excluded The chiefe Commander by fate is subdued, Those that did them assault thought it small purchase, The Lion scornes to prey on a dead carkas. This we heare certainly by many spoken, That Hollands, etc. All those that used to frequent this border Are backe retired for there's a new order: That none shall thither come to worke a violence, Great and small, high and low, all must keepe silence, For it is by many spoken, that Hollands, etc. Yet younster arme your selves, here comes new tidings Allthough the Campe be broke,
for their abidings, They have a refuge found, that can defend them. Drummes, pikes and musketers doth there attend them Then bravely march along, gallants in clusters, Arrive at Bewdly, where they keep their musters . There frontgarded is with such strong forces Only they left behind some certaine Horses, Yet for a trifle they will not be daunted, When once their Colors o'th' wall is advanced. Feare to march away, gallants in clusters, To Bewdly heigh, where they keep their musters . Now if my newes in this song my content you, Buy it and try it and never repent you, For your recreation in love I have pend it: Trusting no creature I have here offended, With telling of the newes which I heard spoken, That Hollands Leager is lately up broken.
