Three Forts are taken, all consum'd and plunder'd; The English in them all destroy'd by Fire, Except some few escap'd to die with Hunger. 2ND WARRIOR. We've smok'd the Bear in spite of all his Craft, Burnt up their Den, and made them take the Field: The mighty Colonel Cockum and his Captain Have dull'd our Tomhocks; here are both their Scalps: [ (Holding out the two scalps.) Their Heads are split, our Dogs have eat their Brains.
