Boileau's Lutrin.
When thus, to sinking Boirude, Brontin Spoke;
I see, Illustrious Sexton, in thy Look
Some Seeds of Ancient Prowess: Oh my Friend!
Let's to the last Our righteous Cause defend.
What shall One Canon over Us prevail,
And with his Single Weight thus turn the Scale?
Shall it be said One Warrior bore away
The Glory of the Cope and this Decisive Day?
No; Never let that Envious Babler[errata 1] Fame
Tarnish the Lustre of thy Dauntless Name.
Come, and Behind my Screening Body stand,
This Bastion shall secure Thee from his Hand.
Here, At his Head Fair Trotter[errata 2]'s Works let fly;
And may they prove as killing as her Eye!
Boirude recall'd his Spirits to his Aid,
And with Collected force th' Advice Obey'd.
