Bestrew’d with Mangled Carcases around,
He saw, when speechless, horror-struck he stood,
The naked Body weltering in its Blood.[21]
‘Alas!’ says John, with indignation heated,
‘Is this the way a gallant Hero’s treated?’
And now the Body to the earth he gave,
And with a friendly tear bedew’d the Grave.
When Johnny did a Letter home Indite,
To tell his mother all about the Fight.
