TINTESS.S OF '7,IIEAT nY STEPIIEN KEIII2LE,  614 D SFOKEN ET liI.M A 7. NEWCASTLE, VV/Tki VERY GREAT SLit;:ESS,  , S,r tin rt f`,(>r your c(7,4n,, unwind your bloody flag ! , Look back unto your mighty ancestors ; , • Go, Volunteers, to your great grandsires' tombs, ln'voke the spir,t of yoUrlfiaek Prince Edward, Who on the French ground. play'd a Tragedy, Making defeat on the full Powers of France Whiles his most mighty Father on a hill Stood smiling, to behold his Lion's whelp Forage in blood of French nobility 0! Noble English ! that could entertain. With half your Forces the full pride of France", And let the other half stand laughing by, Alt out of work, and cold for aaion.— Pa great in a:1-. as you have been in thought ; Pa stirring as the times; be fire switfl fire; Threaten the Threat'ner, and outface the brow Of bragging horror shall inferior eyes, That borrow their behaviours from the great, Grow great by your example, and put on The dauntless spirit of resolution ; Shew boldness and aspiring confdence: What, shall they seek tbe Licr. in his den, •, • • , And fright him there, and make him tremble there? Oh naver be it sAidl—Forage and run, To meet displeasure further from the door, grapple with him ere he come too nigh. We cannot on the footing of our land, Send fair-play orders, and make compromise, insinuation, parly, and base truce: To arms, Invasive then let them come; They come like sacrifices is their trim; And to the fire7ey'd maid of smoaky war, All hot and bleeding will we offer them ! The mailed Mats shall on his altar sit , Up to the ears in blood! -I am on fire to think this. rich reprisal is so nigh, • And yet not ours ReMernber whom you haye to cope withal! ; A scum of Frenchmen ! Rascals ! Renegades, Whom their o'er-eloy'd Country vomits forth To desperate adventure, and assur'd destruEtion. For what is he they follow ?--Truly, Gentlemen, A bloody Tyrant- and a Homicide ; One reis'd in blood, and one in blood establish'd ; One that :trade means to come by what he hath, And slaughter'd those that were the means to help him A base, foul stone; made precious by the soil Of Gallia's chair; where he is falsely set ; One-that hath ever been God's enemy': . Tlien if you fight-against God's enemy, God will in justice ward you as his soldiers! If you do swear to put a Tyrant down, You Sleep In peace, the Tyrant being slain : I f you do fight against your Country's foes, Your .Country's fate shall 'pay*our pains the hire ; f you do fight in safeguard of'your wives, ,;1: r. . Your wives Shall welcome home the conquerors ;' if you do free youiTchildren from the sword, ifrour children's ofiiiiclren quits it in your age ; Then in the name of God, and. all these rights, Advanceyour standards, draw your willing swords.
