Sect. 13. Co••••nell Murray beats Col'nell Nugent in Pic∣queering.
IN a few days our Forces salley all,
To fight the Foe entrenched near Brookhall
But they retreat without e're striking blow;
Then our Gen'ral dos a Picqueering go.
Col'nel Nugent had made a solemn vow,
That he would Col'nel Murray overthrow;
Then in a Danish Fort he and his friend,
To intercept our Gen'ral did intend:
As he return'd, they challenge him to stand;
And who he's for, they boldly do demand;
For you quoth he; and then at them let's fly,
The one escap'd; but tother there did dye.
He that fled his Scarlet Cloak had lost,
Which on our Gen'ral by the wind was tost.
