A New Calculation of late has been given, Of the wonderful Year of Ninety and Seaven; How the French Preparations by Sea and by Land, Has threaten'd each Nation on every hand. Begar me'll out-doe de Turk and de Jew, And Fight de dam Dutch, and de English too; No Hero, no Hero, is like dat of France, Who Challenge all Europe to make 'em advance. II. The great Preparations for Sieging of Ath, And Vigorously Investing the Town, And when 'twas Surrender'd to Mahomet Faith, And of our great Victory made such a Sound: We greatly may boast, How few we have lost, And of the small Charges Repairs has Cost; Oh then there's no reason that we should Repine, Tho' Conti, and Ponti, should loose their Design. III. For Boufflers, Catinat, and Villeroy, Does Head the grand Army that march in the Field; No Town but submit to their genteel Decoy, And make the Confederate Forces to Yield. There's Conti the King, And Ponti's Off-spring, They loud in the Ears of great Monarchy Sing; Come Truckle, and Buckle yea Confederate Foes, Our Sword is in hand to make you dispose. IV. There's Monsieur Vendosme is Treating the Spaniard; Who flees before 'em with Precipitation; For at the noise of th' approach of his Vangaurd, They all are afraid of the loss of their Nation. There's Seignour Loranzo, Don Juan Alphanzo; And ten Thousand more speak every Man so, That none can withstand our Generals Command, For we Fight the Battles of Lewis le Grand.
[2] V. Great Admiral Ponti has caught the Galloons, So Richly Laden with the Spaniard's great Treasure, And made all the Seignors to be but Buffoons, We Rifle and Sack their Towns at our pleasure. Ten Millions of Crowns, With Plate in Galloons, Does give us great Reason to Crack and to Bounce, Oh how we rejoyce when we come into Brest, And Sing Oh be Joyful as well as the rest. VI. But now the great Hopes of the Monsieur is gone, Which makes him so greatly to sue for a Peace: And their Hect'ring Gen'rals do greatly bemoan The loathsome Return of Great Monsieurs Disease. For his great Plenepoes, And his Politick Beaus, Must yield up the Cudgels to Lewis's Foes; Oh Lewis, Grand Lewis, you must tamely Resign, Since Ponti, and Conti, has lost their Design. VII. Now William the Brave have turned the Scale, To Europe's Rejoycing, and England's great Glory; And at his appearing did so much prevail, That the grand Monsieur soon changed his Story. With Trumpet and Drum, He bravely did come To Relieve the Oppression of Christendom; Then Monsieur make hast and flee to your Line, For the English pursue you to break your Design. VIII. And now the Confederates joyning their Forces[,] Has alter'd the Scene of Monsieurs great Hopes, And all their great Joys are turn'd into Curses, And are down in the Mouth like a parcel of Fops; For William's great Name, Is come, them to tame, And all they have done will turn their Shame; Oh Monsieur, grand Monsieur, you have cause to Repine. For Conti, and Ponti, has lost their Design. REPLY. Begar me no stay, says grand Villeroy, March vou, passe vou, hast to your Lines, Le Roy de Angliterre, approche moy, Vole vou alle, or submit to his Fines, Monsieur Boussleer Et Catinat allere, [P]er Deiu de English begin to draw near; For if they can catch us but out of our Line, They'll serve us like Ponti and break our Design.
