The BRITISH GRENADIERS.

SOME talk of Alexander,
and some of Hercules,
Of Hector and Lysander,
and such great men as these;
But all the world acknowledges,
true valour best appears.
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row,
brave British Grenadiers

These ancients of antiquity,
ne'er saw a cannon ball;
Nor knew the force of powder,
to stay their foes with all:
But braver boys have known its
and banish'd all their fears,
For a tow, row, row, row, row, row,
brave British Grenadeers.

When we receive the orders,
to storm their palisadoes;
Our leaders march with (illegible text),
and we with hand gianadoes,
We toss them from the glacis,
amongst our en'mies ears,
With a tow, row, row, row, row, row,
brave British Grenadiers.

Then Jove the God of thunder,
and Mars the God of war;
