FIE sluggish Country Man, Forsake your Clownish Breeding; And you more arch Trepan Of Lond[o]n , leave your Feeding: You're both conceited silly Fools, To boast what you shou'd hide, Insipid, rusty, useless Tools, Your Edge is turn'd with Pride. Come forth and take up Arms, Assert your Country's Glory; Mind neither Shops nor Farms, But dance the Warlike Bory: The Drum does Beat, the Trumpet Sounds, Th' Embattell[']d Armies meet; Their Complments are Blood and Wounds, In Fire and Smoak they greet. Our Canons they do Roar, And our small Shot does Thunder; Whilst you do sleep and snoar, Whole Towns we Storm and Plunder: You snug at home, like Snails in shels, And dare not show your Horns; Obscure both Cit and Bumpkin dwells, Whilst Fame our Deeds Adorns. The Soldier's Life is Brave, With Honour still Lenowned; No danger he will wave, With Laurel to be Crowned: He covets Toils and grand Fatigues, To wade in purple streams, And scorn the City soft Intrigues, Or Humdrums Country Dreams.
What Battles we have won, And Coentries we did Conquer; How France we did o're run, Is known to e'ry Younker: But now our London-Derry Boys, All Stories do surpass, They Routed have the poor Dear Joys , And made Monsieur an Ass. Brave Protestants Rejoyce, Your Foes before you Tumble; Shout with a Warlike Voice, Let none be heard to grumble; K. James is fled, his Army slain, There's none dare keep the Field; And Valiant Kirk comes on amain, He'll Dye before he'll yield. From Scotland there is News, The Rebels all are Routed; Tho' some wou'd us Amuse, As if 'twere to be doubted: But be assur'd that all is true, The Gazett does Relate; Or else you'r worse than Turk or Jew , And Infidells we hate. Now farewel Country Clown, And City Fop, I leave you; The Village and the Town, Of Honour do bereave you: Whilst you lie saaking in your Nest, I Crowns and Septers Guard; And at the end in Triumph rest, When Honour's my Reward.
