They pass’d the English frigates,
They heard their sentries’ feet,
They heard, “All’s well!” call’d out to tell
How fool’d had been the fleet.[9]
And then their stroke was bolder:
For Warwick Point[17] they bore.
A coach and pair were there to bear
Their captive far from shore.
Here[17] Prescott broke the silence:
“Your push was boldly plann’d.”
