A Battle! A Battle! (Extended) - 8
With no intent of Harm or Evil
But humbly to request Redress
For cruel Indians Wickedness;
And to expose a Jugler’s Box,
Contriv’d by P----n and F---x
By which, they with a Magic Trick
Could shew white Folks as black’s Oldnick
And what’s as wonderful agen.
Make Indian Villains honest Men.
AND thus they charge most wicked Facts on
The worthy bleeding Men of Paxton.
But with our Foes hold strickt Alliance
And bid all Government Defiance.
For what care they? good Furs and Skins
Will hide a Multitude of Sins.
REDRESS is promis’d. They content
Paid off their Hosts, and home they went.
THESE, these are they, who always chose
T’engage their King’s and Country’s Foes
Whose Grandsires too were bravely willing
To fight or die at Ineskilling.
Go on good Lads! and scorn what’s base,
And live, t’ enjoy Health, Wealth and Peace.
