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 fuzees, and we with hand granadoes,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;
