Brave col’nel Jack, being then a boy,

His warlike genious did employ,

He form’d his men at the hill foot,

Which was approv’d as noble wit:

But if Husk had not check’d their fury,

Some thousands more had been to bury;

He beat them fair quite out of sight,

But O! the rain and blowy night,

Horse or cannon, there, he had none,

He could not keep the field alone,
