Summon’d the town for to submit,
Militia therein were quartered,
And the townsmen also, armed,
Who did defend a day or two;

Though a good wall both stout and strong,
Lay on the south where they came on;
Yet ’tween the water and the town
It lay quite open, halfway roun’.
The bridge was cut on the south side,
