Licensed according to Order .

LEt the Females attend To the Lines which are penn'd , For here I shall gi — be a Relation , Of a young Married Wife , Who did venture her Life , For a Soldier , a Soldier , she went from the Nation . She her Husband did leave , And did likewise receive Her Arms , and on Bo—ard she did enter , And right valiantly went , With a Resolution bent To the Ocean , the Ocean , her Life there to venture . Yet of all the Ship 's Crew Not a Seaman that knew They then had a Wo — man so near 'em ; On the Ocean so deep , She her Council did keep , Aye , and therefore , and therefore she never did fear 'em . She was valiant and bold , And would not be controll'd By any that da — re to offend her : If a Quarrel arose , She would give them dry Blows , And the Captain , the Captain did highly comend her .

For he took her to be Then of no mean Degree , A Gentleman 's So — n or a 'Squire ; With a hand white and fair , There was none could compare , Which the Captain , the Captain did often admire . On the Irish Shore Where the Cannons did roar , With many stout La — ds she was landed ; There her Life to expose , She lost Two of her Toes , And in Battel , in Battel was daily commanded . Vnder Grafton she fought , Like a brave Hero stout , And made the proud To To—ries retire ; She in Field did appear With a Heart void of Fear , And she bravely , she bravely did charge and give Fire . While the battering Balls , Did assault the strong Walls Of Cork , and the swe — et Trumpets sounded , She did bravely advance Where by unhappy Chance , This young Female , young Female , was fataly wounded , At the end of the Fray , Still she languishing lay , Then over the O — cean they brought her , To her own Native Shore , Now they ne'er knew before , That a Woman , a Woman , had been in that slaughter . What she long had conceal'd , Now at length she reveal'd , That she was a Wo — man that ventur'd , Then to London with care , She did streightways repair , But she dy'd , oh ! she dy'd e'er the City she enter'd , When her Parents beheld , They with Sorrow was fill'd For why they did dear — ly adore her , In her Grave now she lies , 'T is not watry Eyes , No nor sighing , nor sighing , that e'er can restore her .
