WHen Noble bold Brittains did Victory gain, The Fleet of Old Lewis was burn'd on the Main. Which put him straight into a passionate Rage, He vow'd his Friend Lucifer now to Engage; And therefore to Flanders he then did repair, In order for Storming the Devil's House there. Then raising high Bulwarks, loud Cannons did roar, Which thunder'd and bounc'd at Old Lucifer's Door; With Thunder he threaten'd the Prince of the Air, For failing his Friend by his Negligent Care: Like one quite Distracted, Old Lewis did rave, And vow'd that the Devil's House soon he would have.
The Army of Lewis contending did stand, Who still was repuls'd by a vigorous hand; The Content between them was furious and hot, With Bombs and loud Cannons, with thundring Shot, After long disputing, by showers of Lead, He there took the Devil's House over his head. Was this not uncivil, now tell me, I pray, Because on the Ocean he had not the day, That he should lay all the whole blame on Old Nick, And therewith to shew him a slippery trick, By thund'ring Cannons and showers of Lead, To Storm, I, and take his House over his head.
Now Lucifer thus being turn'd out of doors By Lewis the French King, and his Sons of Whores, He swears he'll in time be reveng'd on them all, They first by the Sword of King William shall fall, Then in burning Sulphur they shall make their Bed, For taking the Devil's-House over his head. If the Devil's-House now is call'd Hell by name, Then Hell and the Devil's-House must be the same; Of which let Old Lewis of France be possest, Where he may for ever lye close in his Nest: 'Tis fit he shou'd have it, and there make his Bed, For taking the Devil's-House over his head. We find he is eager, and covets for Hell, And in those Dark Regions he reckons to dwell; Let that gloomy Empire in his keeping be, There's no one had ever more right to't than he: With his Friend St. Ruth let him there make his Bed For taking the Devil's-House over his head. Since he such a Conquering Monster is grown, We doubt not in time but he'll make Hell his own; Where he in the streams of Ambition may swim, And he take the De'el, and the Devil take him: In those gloomy Regions let him make his Bed, For taking the Devil's-House over his head. Old Lucifer now is by Lewis Controul'd, His House he has taken to make his strong Hold; But yet let him know for this horrible Crime, He shall without doubt, be Tormented in time; In gloomy dark Regions he shall make his Bed, For taking the Devil's-House over his head. Now since he has gain'd such a Victory there, It seems he resolves to Reign Prince of the Ayr; Old Pluto and he now will Part'ners be, Yet how in their Government they will agree, We know not, but some says, when Lewis is dead, He will take the Devil's Realm over his head.
