A Heroick Poem. By William Chamberlayne

Whilst this imposture made the scar'd guards when
They saw us move, then make a stand agen,
Either to think that dallying winds had plaid
With flakes of snow, or that their sight betraid
Their fancy into errors, we were past
The reach of danger, and in triumph cast

78

Off with our fears, what had us safety lent
When strength refus'd to save the innocent.
