And afkcd the favour to crofs o'er the lea,
Where they with their parent in ploatv,might be ;

Being thus dilappoinred no co ^fort coaid htid.
Till the thoiighls of the army d:d i un in t lieir wind;
So leaving their uncle, they c^me where they f*ued
A regiment of fottmen tor America bound.
With whom they inlilted. and went to the main,
