While the surrender was made plain.

In the night, September the seventeen,

Into the city all marched in;

Which gave to many a sad surprize,

Rapping at their doors to make them rise:

The castle then struck round her clear,

None in its sight there durst appear.

They fix’d a guard at the West-bow-head,

And the Weigh-house their Guard-house made,

Crowding it full, ’bove and below;
