WIthin few days the Enemy begin, T'entrench themselves, Hamilton & Lozin, Were Gen'rals; it was just over the Bog, Where they their Trenches in our presence dug; This bold attempt rouz'd up our Gen'rals Soul, For they their Trenches made without controul; He chose three thousand Men and fally'd out; And soundly beat the En'my without doubt, Out of their Trenches; but they reinforce, And beat us still of with some Troops of Horse. Thrice he their Trenches gain'd, they regain them, o reinforcement from the City came; anghop against us came with fresh supplies, ur beaten Forces to the City flyes.
