THE SONG OF MONMOUTH'S MEN. A zoijf»! ,i Imttlo zong Zing it heartily and strong! Threo hundred mile, through wet and dry, _ our lads have marched along, Willi a hymn to stay their stomachs, our lads liuvo marched along. Wo broke the foo at Norton, but they mimed away 100 vast. Now zing, good vriends and brothers, for the cowards stand at Inst. Oil, it may bo worse or better, and it may bo right or wrong; But at loast we'll zing it heartily; our zong, our battlo zojig-!
A-crown! a goldian crown! I'or King James be vallen down, And Monmouth rides bareheaded through
Hie streets o' 'i'aunioii town; Zo pretty as a piny, through the streets o' Taunton town. And ho shall havo nil England's crown and wear it as he will, "Kind James," who saved tho^martyrs, when "Cruel James" zaid "Kill!" Oh, he may ho prince or love-child, and he may ho king or cloirn, But at least he'll wear it royally; a crown! a goldian crown! A vight! a gallant vight! And God for Faith and Eight! Two armies lio in darkness on Sedgy Moor to-night! Israel and haughty Amalck on Sedgy Moor to-night! ; Unto a holy harvest our reap-hooks wo havo whet, , , And some shall 7.0 Hi© zunriso that shall
never zee it set! . Oh, it may bo death or victory, and it may ha day or night; But at least we'll vight it to tho end; a vight! a gallant vight! —Edward Sydney Tylee.
