Some of us so fatigued, carrying the gun and knapsack, dropping asleep in

Others
pitching
the little tents, and the fires lit up begin to sparkle;
Outposts of pickets posted, surrounding, alert through the dark,
And a word provided for countersign, careful for safety;

We rise up refreshed, the night and sleep passed over, and resume our

That carried earst their fardels on their backes,
Coursers to ride on through the gazing streetes,

They purchase lands, and now Esquiers are namde.
