by (1743–1804)

Listen in the reader

Pepperrell, as Head of the New-England Bands, Extends his Conquests, unto distant Lands. Surpasses far, attempts, in all past Time, Or hostile Motions, in this Western Clime. Raises Renown, establishes his Fame, Restores Repute, and gets our Land a Name.

Colonel Bradstreet, as an Instrument, With active Mind and Labours did prevent, The Heathen Tribes pursuing their Intent; By crossing Cancer-gut, to fall upon Our Troops Encamped on the Isle-Breton.

Storer Lieutenant, in this Regiment, With Major Cutts, adventure the Event, In dangerous Attempts, with spirits high, Fearless advance against the Enemy.
