Classic Poem

What have they done or what left undone,
That might advance the Cause at London?
March'd rank and file with Drum and Ensign,
T'entrench the City for defence in;
Rais'd Rampiers with their own soft hands,
To put the enemy to stands;
From Ladies down to Oyster-wenches
Labour'd like Pioneers in Trenches,
Fell to their Pick-axes and Tools,
And help'd the men to dig like Moles?
