Lettering: Hark how the Drum assaults our Ears, Thus beating up for volunteers; Here Cuckolds, Cowards, Pimps and Panders, By turns, are Soldiers and Commanders. Who fight, besiege, and storm amain, And yet are never hurt or Slain: Sad work! Should this tame Army meet , The late Pacifick Spithead Fleet. E Heemskerk invt. et pinxt. Toms sculpt.
