A few months later a bad poet wrote a play, entitled "The late Revolution." One scene is laid at Exeter.

"Enter battalions of the Prince's army, on their march into the city, with colours flying, drums beating, and the citizens shouting." A nobleman named Misopapas says,--"can you guess, my Lord, How dreadful guilt and fear has represented Your army in the court?
Your number and your stature Are both advanced; all six foot high at least, In bearskins clad, Swiss, Swedes, and Brandenburghers." In a song which appeared just after the entrance into Exeter, the Irish are described as mere dwarfs in comparison of the giants whom William commanded: "Poor Berwick, how will thy dear joys Oppose this famed viaggio?
Thy tallest sparks wilt be mere toys To Brandenburgh and Swedish boys, Coraggio! Coraggio!" Addison alludes, in the Freeholder, to the extraordinary effect which these romantic stories produced.] [Footnote 513: Expedition of the Prince of Orange; Oldmixon, 755.; Whittle's Diary; Eachard, iii.
