To each Gentleman-Soldier in the Company of the Worshipful James Boddington , Lieutenant-Colonel of the Green Regiment of Trained Bands . AS mighty Heroes , whose great Deeds & Name By Foreign Acts proclaim perpetual Fame ; So yours no less magnanimous appear , At each Alarm , to guard the Nation here : Witness of late , when Ruffians did combine Together in a barbarous Design Of murd'ring Great King William , Europe's Joy , And all his Loyal Subjects to destroy ; Then did the Valiant Green , like early Spring , First take up Arms ( to save their Gracious King From th' Hands of those blood-thirsty Traitors who Design'd at once three Kingdoms to undo : ) With Zeal so great , as if 't were your Intent , To fight all with your single Regiment . For which brave Act , the Green deserve to be In Fame's Record to all Posterity . Nor did you only lead the Van this Year , But , in your Post , likewise brought up the Rear ; Which amply shews , the Green are thought to be London's chief Bulwark and Security . Go on , great Sons of Mars , to charge your Foes ; None but fool-hardy Soldiers dare oppose Your valiant matchless Arms , which does amaze The Stout themselves , the rest with Wonder gaze . So gallantly accoutred you appear , And so expert in Conduct , that pale Fear Your Enemies possess , whilst all the Crowd Extol your Courage with Applauses loud . Your Trusty Marshal , John Brown .
