A little bewest of Seaton-town,

Picquets and spies went him around,

Lay undiscover’d till break of day,

Then rouz’d like lions for their prey,

In full brigades and oval form,

Upon Cope’s front came as a storm,

The orders were not for to fire,

Until they came a little nigh’r;

To sham the first fell to the ground,

By which means few receiv’d a wound:
