O'er bufh, o'er bank, o'er ditch, o'er flank,
She flang amang them a' man ;
The Butter-box got mony knocks,
Their riggings paid for a' then.
They got their paiks, wi' fudden ftraiks,
Which to their grief they faw man;
Wi' clinkum clankum o'er their crowns,
The lads began to fa' then.
Hur fkipt about, hur leapt about,
And flang amang them a', man ;
The Englifh blades got broken heads,
Their crowns were cleav'd in twa then.
The durk and door made their latt hour,
And prov'd their final fa', man ;
They thought the devil had been there,
That play'd them fick a paw then.
