WOrthy Gentlemen all, Of the Powder and Ball, The Protestant A-----rmy of Flanders; Now be all of good Chear, [And] the Coasts you will clear, You have [Va]liant, right Valiant and Noble Commanders Men of Conduct and Skill, That will venture, Boys, still, Therefore I have re-----ason to praise 'um.
And the huffing Monsieur, He will tremble for fear, For your courage your courage, brave boys, will amaze 'um Mighty Princes of late, In the Coun[sel] of State, The Plots of proud Fra-----nce has confounded; For we all are agreed, Now to sail on with speed, Therefore Lewis, proud Lewis, with fear be surrounded.
Then my brave hearts of Gold, Most Couragious and Bold, All Losses they so-----on shall restore us; While the Cannons do Roar, They shall lye in their Gore, And their Army, their Army, we'll drive Boys, before Nay, my Lads, you shall see, I'll your General be, Then fear not to fo-----llow your Leader; I resolve to March on, Up to Lewis le Grand, And to lay low, to lay low that lofty high Cedar. Coll'nel Talmash, said he, Here's your Reg'ment I see, Hath two years in Fla-----nders resided; Here is Guinnies five score, I will give them therefore, Now be careful, and see it be fairly Divided. Nay, the Army all through, He was Generous to, For they did parta-----ke of his Treasure; With a Huzza of Joy, Crying Vive le Roy, Let us fight for our King, Boys, and count it a pleasure. Then the Trumpets did sound, All the Army quite round, And rattling Dr-----ums they were beating; And e'ry honesty Soul, Drank a full flowing Bowl, There was never, was never, a happier Greeting.
