ASsist me, all ye Muses, and inspire My humble Genius with a Martial Fire; Teach me in mighty Numbers how to raise A lasting Trophy to my Masters Praise. And LONDON, thou Emporium of our Land, Who dost the School of Arts and Arms Command; Thou Nursery of Souls, accept my Verse, While I the Glory of thy Sons rehearse. No Tow'rs nor Fortresses thy City needs, Nor Mercenary Soldiers, while it breeds A Race of Hero's fit for Noble Deeds. Does but the Rattling Drum to Battle call, They fly to Arms, the Word is One and All; Their Courage Steel, their Bodies are a Wall. And when the YELLOW Reg'ment we behold, With waving Ensigns Burnish'd o're with Gold, Like Caesars belov'd Legion, all declare, They are the Fav'rites of the God of War. Were there an Alexander to subdue Another World, he'd chuse such Men as you. In ev'ry Field you bear away the Prize In Marching, Firing, and for Exercise. Faign wou'd I strive to reach my Captain's Fame, And to the World his skill in War proclaim; But words are wanting, and the Theme's too high, My grateful thoughts in Admiration fly. May London and her King united be: He, Great in Pow'r; She, Rich in Loyalty; No Rebel dare the Bond of Peace destroy, But all be Love, and Gratitude, and everlasting Joy.
So prays your Trusty Marshal, Thomas Hawkins.
