 | The poetical works of John Nicholson |  |
Let Hammerton mount on his high-mettled steed,
And gather the horsemen of Skipton with speed;
Let the Parkers below, in old Bingley's fine vale,
Bring their followers cased in the brightest of mail.
Brave Vavasour, rise from the oak-covered den,
Blow strong thy old horn, and the best of thy men
Will be cased in their armour, and as you march near
Give a shout, and bold Middleton's youths will appear.
And gather the horsemen of Skipton with speed;
Let the Parkers below, in old Bingley's fine vale,
Bring their followers cased in the brightest of mail.
Brave Vavasour, rise from the oak-covered den,
Blow strong thy old horn, and the best of thy men
Will be cased in their armour, and as you march near
Give a shout, and bold Middleton's youths will appear.
