 Battel and Death they make their chief Delight,

And in all Nations teach the World to fight.

Buda the dreadfull't Siege the World ere aw,

What Hero's did the Fame of Danger Draw?

Lely th' Old Croatian Ban appears,

And daring Scots led up the Volunteers.

What Actions pa't, let only uch relate,

Who know how Men reolv'd to Conquer meet;

Never was Town with uch trange Fury fill'd,

Such Deeds Victoria eldom has beheld;

Such Storms, uch Fury, Fleh and Blood nere bore,

Nor Town was ever o maintain'd hefore;

The dep'rate Garrion didain to Fear,

With their own laughter'd Bones the Breach repair;

Contemning Mercy, they like Furies fight,

And jut as fat as Life declin'd, ubmit.

What Streams of Blood mut in uch Fights be lot?

What Fatal Price mut uch a Conquet cot?

Life o betow'd, is always old too dear,

But VALIANT SCOTS, what Buines had you here?
