III.
Sir Robert's azure heroes
Look'd out uncommon keen,
From park and plain and prairie,
From heath and upland green;
From Essex fens and fallows,
From Hampshire—dale and down—
From Sussex' hundred leagues of sand,
To Shropshire's fat and flow'ry land
And Cheshire's wild and wasted strand,
And Yorkshire's heather brown;—
And so, of course, the fight came off
A dozen miles from Town.
