BY CHARLES MILLS.

-Therefore, friends,

As far as to the Sepulchre of Christ,

(Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross

We are impressed and engag'd to fight)

Forthwith a power of English shall we levy;

Whose arms were moulded in their mothers' wemb

To chase these Pagans, in those holy fields,

Over whose acres walk'd those blessed feet

Which, fourteen hundred years ago, were nail'd,

For our advantage, on the bitter cross.
