Brandisht their swords and pistols fir’d,
Some threw their durks and then retir’d.
The Hussars likewise took the flight,
And never did presume to fight;
But left their leader on the field,
Who as pris’ner was forc’d to yield.
The noble Earl of Kilmarnock,
Whose head was from his body struck,
Afterwards, upon Tower-hill;
Great pity ’twas this Lord to kill!
