It was early day, as poets say, Just when the sun was rising, A soldier stood on log of wood, And saw a sight surprising. As in amage he stood to gaze, The truth cannot be denied sir; He spied a score of Kegs, or more, Come driving dmm the tide, sir. A sailor to·:>, in jerkin blue, This strange appearance viewing, First damned his eyes, in grief surprise, Then said, some mischief's brew:ng. These kegs now hold the rebels bodl, Packed up lik~ pickled herring; And they are come d'JWn to attack the to"tom, In t}1is new way of ferrying. The soldier flew, the sailor too, And scared almost t~ death, sir, Wore out their shoes, to spread the news, And ran till out of breath, sir. Now up and down, throughout the town, Most frantic scenes were acted; And some ran here and others there, Like men almost distracted. So.ne fire cried, which some denied, But said. the earth had quaked; And girls and boys, with hideous noise, Ran tl:,rough the streets half naked. Sir William he, snug a.a a flea, Lay all th.:s time a snoring, Nor d. reamed of harm as he lay warm, In bed with Ilirs. Loring. Now in a fright he starts upright, Awaked by such a clatter; First rubs his eyes then boldly cries, For G~d's sake, what's the matter? �- THE BATI'LE OF THE KEGS - Cont 'd At his be(lside then he espied, Sir Erskine, at can~nd, sir; Up::m ane foot he had one boot, And the otl,er in his hand, sir. Arise, arise, Sir Erskine cries, The rebels maves the pitty! Wi th:mt a. baat an all afloat, And ranged before the City . The motley crew in Vessels new, With Satan for their guide, sir; Packed up in bags and wooden kegs, Come driving down the tide, sir/. Therefore, prepare for bloody war, rhese kegs must all be rauted; Or surely we despised shall be,. And British val-;:>ur doubted. The royal band now rea.dy stand, All ranged in dread array, sir; On every slip in every ship, For to begin the fray, sir. The cannons roar, from shore t-;:> shore, The small arms make a rattle; Since wars began, I am SU2."e no man, Ever saw so strange a battle. The rebels dales, the rebel vales, With rebel trees surrounded. The distant w-;:>ods, the hills and floods, With rebel echoes saunced. The fish below swan to and iro, Attacked on every quarter; Why sure, thought they, the devils to pay, Among folk, above the water. The kegs, 'tis said, though st-rongly made, Of rebel staves and hoops, sir; Could not oppose their powerful foes, The cona~ering British troops,sir. From morn to night those men of might, Displayed amazing cou~ge; And when the sunwas fairly down, Retired to sup their porridge. One hundred men, with eac.r. a pen, sir· is most true, wouia be too few, Their valour to record, sir. ~ more, upon my word -- ------ � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
