(1919) ' Tis their own Chronicle business , which can tell you that at the Seige of Leyden , a Fort being held by the Spanish , by the Dutch was after taken by assault .The Defendants were put to the sword , where one of the Dutch in the fury of the slaughter , ript up the Captains body , and with a barbarous hand tore out the yet living heart panting among the reeking bowels , then with his teeth rent it still warm with blood into gobbets , which he spitted over the battlements , in defiance to the rest of the Army .Oh Tigers breed ! The Scythian - Bear could nere have been more savage .
