Sect. 11. The General's Ordered.
THen in all haste Maimont is order'd forth,
With thirty thousand to reduce the North;
Maimont whose early valour on the Rhine,
'Bove all the Gallick Officers did shine.
Him the French King sent to assist King James,
'Gainst each such Subject as his reign declaimes.
Hamilton likewise was next worthy found,
To head the Army on the Irish ground.
He that young Temple had out-witted so,
That nought but death could expiate the blow.
The wretched Youth 'gainst his false friend exclaims;
And in despair drown'd himself in the Thames.
