Let not our babling dreams affright our fouls; Conscience is but a word that cowards use, Devis'd at first to keep the ftrong in awe. Our strong arms be our confcience, fwords our law. March on, join bravely, let us to't pell mell, If not to heav'n, then hand in hand to hell. What fhall I fay more than I have inferr'd? Remember whom you are to cope withal, A fort of vagabonds, of rafcals, run-aways, A fcum of Britons, and bafe lackey-peasants, Whom their o'er-cloyed country vomits forth To defperate adventures and deftruction. You fleeping fafe, they bring you to unrest: You having lands, and bleft with beauteous wives, They would reftrain the one, diftain the other. And who doth lead them but a paltry fellow, Long kept in Bretagne at his mother's coft? A milk-fop, one that never in his life Felt fo much cold, as over fhooes in fnow. Let's whip thefe ftragglers o'er the feas again, Lafh hence thefe over-weening rags of France, These famish'd beggars, weary of their lives; Who, but for dreaming on this fond exploit, For want of means, poor rats, had hang'd themselves. If we be conquer'd, let men conquer us, And not those bastard Britons, whom our fathers Have wwww Have in their own land beaten, bobb'd and thump'd, Fight gentlemen of England, fight bold yeomen!
