LET Loyal Subjects now attend, To the Lines that here are penn'd, Which lately came from Ireland, As you in brief shall understand. A Souldier writing to his Love, He said, My Dear and Turtle-Dove, Tho' in this Kingdom Thousands fell, Yet still I am alive and well. But here's one thing I do declare, By us the Rebels routed were; For in a sharp and bloudy fray, We Protestants did win the day.
They manner how we did proceed, To make those Romish Rebels bleed; In brief to you I will unfold, Brave noble, valiant Hearts of Gold. From Belturbat did march away All Night, till Morning break of day; Whereas by chance we did espie Four thousand of the Enemy. The Duke of Berwick did Command Those Rebels which could never stand Against true Protestants of Might, Who did with Resolution Fight.
Our noble brave Commanders cry'd, Charge, and give Fire, let the Pride Of French and Tories blasted be, While you are Crown'd with Victory. Couragious Lads, Fight, Kill, and Wound, And give them not an Inch of Ground, But send them Shots like showers of Hail, The which will soon their Courage quail. This so encourag'd e'ery Man, That we like Lyons streight fell on; Our Guns did then like Thunder Roar, While Teagues lay reeking in their Gore. Both sharp and hot was the Dispute, While we the Tories did salute; And Berwick's horse under him kill'd, At which he was with Horrour fill'd. The sight of this did so dismay His forces, that they ran away, As swift as any nimble Deer, While we pursu'd them in the Rear.
Three hundred Rebels there we slew, With many chief Commanders too; Our Conqu'ring Sword did reap the Fie[ld], And made the Proud and Haughty yield. We Protestants the Lord did bless, With so much happy true Success, That scarce full Twenty Men in all Did in this Expedition fall. No sooner we the Coast had clear'd, But we our Hearts with Liquor chear'd, In drinking Healths to that great King, Whose fame shall thorough Europe Ring. To Head his Army he will come, Who is the Pride of Christendom, And for whose sake we are all agreed, To Fight while we have drop to bleed. When as King William he comes o'er, The News will spread from shore to shore, But when his foes do hear his fame, They'll tremble at his Royal Name.
