The Israelites in desart wandred but two score,
But I have wandred two score sixteen & more
In dusty campains, restless days & nights
And in bloody battles, sometimes did I fight
In Ireland, Flanders, France and Spain
And now at last here lies my mortal remain.

I served in ye foot ten years and in ye above |
regiment of Horse upwards of 46 yeares."
