O dreadful news! said Bonaparte,

Enough to break each Frenchman’s heart;

But let us try, with all our art,

Those Chester lads to sever.

Then firmly spoke Monsieur Otto,

The Chester lads you little know,

If them you think to overthrow;

For they will fight for ever.

Tho’ many millions you have slain,

Yet what you’ve done is all in vain;
