What think you on 't Captain how does the Pulse of your Heart beat For by my shoule the Prince will make a quick push for t he encamps in the Plains of Dundalk this Night and then by my shoule he will be with us to Morrow 1. Capt. By my shoule my Heart beats but faintly The Devil tauke me now if I do love these French Men They begin to Tyrannise over us already 1. Lieutenant By St. Pautrick I had like to have run my skein through a French Captain's Guts but t'other Night for calling me Erish Teague however I flung a Glass of Wine in his Fash and had we not been parted I had let the Sun through his Body 2.

Ensign Or suppose you should lose the difference would be determined without Bloodshed and the Chance of Fortune the same 1. Ensign Or let three to three set foot to foot and they that fall first lose all 1. Cap. No Ensign there would be no Chance in that for then the Danes or the Dutch would be sure to win But what need all this dispute We are safe as yet there 's a Wall of Water between us nor any thing but their Cannons can hurt us and I hope that none of us were ever so Curst in our Mothers Bellies to be killed with a Cannon Bullet upon dry Land Hark by St. Pautrick the Drums are in an Uproar There 's Mischief at hand by Creesh Ensign look out and see what 's the matter Ensign goes out and returns 1.
