Summons he got for to surrender;
But answer made, “He was defender,
“Intrusted by king George command,
“To which, he vow’d, he’d firmly stand.”
Then to assault they did prepare,
Milit’ry engines erected there,
Cannon from th’ other side the Forth,
Which had been landed in the north.
British cannons lost at Fount’noy,
Came home this Fort for to destroy.
