Through Bogs & Mountains, in the Frost & Snow
Men, Women, Children, then were butchered,
And all that spoke our Language punished;
The very Cattle, if of English breed,
The very Cattel, if of English breed,
They slashed and mangled, that they could not feed.
They slasht and mangled, that they could not feed.
