SCENE IV. A Street— Troops Marching too and fro.
Enter Soldiers, Conversing.
1st Soldier. It is scarce past midnight, and yet these Yanks are up and swarming like bees.
2d Sol. Yes, Jock, and I fear that before to-morrow night we shall feel the sting of that same vermin brood.
3d Sol. Well, let them come ; we can but die. Then let us die like men. As for one, I had as soon die by Yankee's hands as in the gripe of grim starvation.
1st Sol. And I, being a conscript, if I should make my choice, I'...d die by neither.
2d Sol. And a conscript I ; and if the city falls, what then ?
1st Sol. Keep your eyes on my swift retreating heels, and follow them. Then, if luck is ours, good-bye, Johnny Gray backs, good-bye!
2d Sol. You are a trump, and I will play that hand.
3d Sol. Comrades, I could betray you, and then you know your fate.
But no ; from childhood's days we've together been ; I can not say to you good luck, but good hearts, farewell.
The bugle calls, and we must away, away.
And close our ranks against the fierce affray.
