And lobsters, 'stead of cuirassiers ; Engaged his legions in fierce bustles, 4 With periwinkles, prawns, and muscles, And led his troops with furious gallops, To charge whole regiments of scallops; Not like their ancient way of war, To wait on his triumphal car; But when he went to dine or sup. More bravely ate his captives up, And left all war, by his example, Reduced to vict'ling of a camp well.
The Procession of the Skimmington And now the cause of all their fear \iy slow degrees approached ...so near.
They might distinguish different noise Of horns, and pans, and dogs, and boys, And kettle-drums, whose sullen dub Sounds like the hooping of a tub.
But when the sight appeared in view, They found it was an antique show; A triumph that, for pomp and state.
Did proudest Romans emulate : For as the aldermen of Rome Their foes at training overcome, And not enlarging territory, As some, mistaken, write in story, Being mounted in their best array, Upon a car, and who but they. '* And followed with a w^orld of tall lads, That merry ditties trolled, and ballads.
