Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Siege of Berwick
IT is not aetion only that adorns The foldier's charaeter, it is patience, Calm and induring in the rugged hour Of want, that forms the nobler part of duty You, my lov'd ions, and all your fellow-fufferers, Have well that rigorous iron ta?e perform'd. But now a fmoother train of hours advances The truce, which at to-morrow's dawn takes place, Will enable me from but the northern gate To difmifs the women, the aged and the infirm.
