On the Memorable Battle of Bannockburn,
fought on the 25th of June, 1314.
Tune, In the Garb of Old Gaul, &c.
From the ocean emerged bright Phoebus’s ray,
Big with the importance of Bannockburn’s day,
To deck out the pomp of the broad shining field,
Which now a glitt’ring harvest of lances did yield,
Resolv’d on a conquest of Scotia’s plains,
To annex them for ever to England's domain
Bold Edward, with the hugest host
e’er England did produce,
With haughty pride advanced
to dethrone Robert Bruce.

From an army compos’d of an hundred thousand men,
Well serv’d in ev’ry article to fight upon the plain;
Where the whole strength of England collected you might see,
Who could not dream of any nothing but certain victory,
