COme all you brave Gallants! away to the Feild, Where Honour her Crowns and her Laurels doth yeild: Leave Drinking, and Fooling, and dandling of Wenches, To take up your Lodging in Tents, and in Trenches: Our Countries Foes we will strike with a Dampe, And out-shine the Reports of Tilbury-Campe. Should Caesars bold Army Revive once again, Romes Eagles must stoope to the Cross of Britain; Nor should that proud Bully, the Grand Alexander, Henceforth stile himself Universal Commander, Nor Cry for more Worlds, for, lo! here he might find, Another more stout, yet Unconquer'd behind. Great Britain, That World by it self, which gives Law To it's Neighbours, and keeps Usurpers in Awe, Which Fetters the Ocean in Chains, as of old, King Zerxes Attempted in vain, we are told, But now 'tis her Captive, where each Man of Warr, Rules as he lists, and all others can Barr. Yet the Bounds to Increase of her spreading Command, She endeavours to grow no less potent by Land, For Forces, all places do Club, and the Shires: Vye which shall send fastest their brave Volunteirs, For he is a Cockscomb, a Coward, or worse That Comes not his Country to serve, but on force. From York-Shire, I'se lately Marcht up to the Town, And the Dee'l Split my Crag if again I'le gang down, Without doing something shall make it appear, A Northern Lad scorns to be Hector'd by feare, Our Armes they are good, our bodies are strong Let Old-men Advise, we will Fight that are Young.
Then hasten away to the noble Campaign, And when the Drum Beats, Let us over the Main, The Winds shall assist with a bountiful Gale. And waft our Fleet or'e with a full spreading Sail. Whilst the Skies being rent with our Cannons Loud Rore Waves Dance to that Musick, And set us on Shore. No danger shall daunt us, no Toile, nor no Pain, Wee, are Sons of the Blade, and not born to complain, To our Foes wee'l appear as furious and Rough As Seas, when Winds meet on their Brow with a Huff, But streight to our Friends no less gentle are mad, Then Lovers kind Notes in a Sycamore shade. Where e're our Prince pleases our Arms to imploy, Wee'l follow our Leaders with Courage and Joy, By Land, or by Sea, whether Battel or Seige, Wee'l Accomplish all things that our duties obleige: This Generous Soul each true Souldier should have, If he cannot Triumph, he's content with a Grave. Farewell to our Friends, it shall never be sed, We dishonour the parts wherein we were bred, Farewel to our wives, poor hearts though we Roam. Tis like we're as honest as they are at Home: But a thousand Farewells to those Lasses so kind, For whose sakes I am vext we must Leave them behind. Now let the Drums rattle, the Trumpets resound, And Brazen-mouth'd Cannons, with breath tear the ground We scorn for all this, the Least fears to betray, More danger, more Honour, the Proverb doth say, When Bullets about us Like Atoms do fly, ( The Base may Retreat, the Brave rather will dy.
