But badly arm’d, as you may ken;

With lockless guns, and rusty swords,

Durks and pistols of ancient sorts,

Old scythes, with their rumples even,

Into a tree, they had them driv’n;

And some, with battons of good oak,

Vow’d to kill at every stroke:

Some had hatchets upon a pole,

Mischievous weapons, antick and droll,

Was both for cleaving and for clieking,
