HEark! heark! What dismal Noise is this I hear? What mournful Clangor is't doth pierce mine Ear? Fame, who had all her Trumpets taught to sound Her General's Praise, with which the Air around The spacious Globe so often did rebound; Who'd learnt the Joyful Echos to repeat The Mighty Vict'ries of Lorrain the Great, And had instructed every Charming Grove To sing his Conquests, 'stead of softer Love; Had gather'd all her Breath, loud to proclaim Th' approaching Triumphs of the next Campaine: 'S if Thunder-struck! at once her Pipes are mute, The merry Haut-boys, and shrill-throated Flute, The Stately Kettle, and Reviving Drum, Th' Harmonious Trumpet, All, at once, are Dumb! Dumb! to those Notes which Martial Heat did stir, And all their Levets chang'd to mournful Murr: Astonish't Heros drop their sinking Arms, And Europe staggers at the dread Alarms. The Glorious LORRAINE, Theme of all their Praise! The Glorious LORRAINE, who to Life could raise A Sinking Empire; To Fresh Youth restore The Roman Eagle, almost spent before; The Glorious LORRAINE did her Strength renew, Warm'd with His Heat, She to fresh Vict'ries flew; Eclipst the Turkish Moon by Her high Flight, And with her Sable Plumes obscur'd her Borrow'd Light. Arm'd with His Courage, She whole Regions tore From the Proud Sultan; forc'd him to restore Her Ravag'd Cities to her Ancient Sway: Made trembling Bashaws her Great Chief obey, As if New Conquests grew with every Day. The Glorious LORRAINE taught th' Imperial Arms To baffle Fate; Before him flew whole Swarms Of Haughty Infidels, who oppos'd in vain That Arm which sow'd whole Countries with their Slain. But who th' Immortal Laurel shall transfer From Budas Walls, to grace His Sepulcher? Buda! That single Word sums all Renown; A Matchless Bashaw, and a Matchless Town; Rise, Mighty Waller, Right the Heroe here, The Theme's too Great for my poor Muse to bear. He that Great LORRAINEs Vict'ries would rehearse, Must fill vast Volumes, not confine t' a Verse; At's Conq'ring Feet the prostrate Vifiers fall, Their Gasping Empire dreads the General. Vanquisht Seraskiers with their Legions run; Like Caesar, where he came, the Day he won. Here we must rest, whilst thou, my Muse, dost tell His Swords Exploits 'gainst a greater Infidel. Leave the proud Banks of Danows famous Stream, Loaden with Trophies of the Generals Fame; And to the Fertile Rhine let's now advance, And view the Pannick Fear he brought on France;
That worser Turk, Tyrannick Monster, who Conscious, of plotting Europes Overthrow, 'Twas now high time, his Injur'd Neighbours call, To come t' Account with their Great General: Lorraine he stole 'gainst all pretence of Law, And Ravag'd Orange from the Brave Nassaw, Encroacht on Spain, endeavoured to tear Th' Imperial Lawrel, on his Brows to wear Augustuss Power, and with Sword and Fire Beyond his Bounds to stretch his Lewd Desire; Till he had Planted utter Desolation, And made his Neighbours like his Abject Nation: The Glorious LORRAINs chose to Check his Pride, And force the Monster in his Cave to hide: His well-taught Troops disdain the Monsieurs Arms. Monsieur, who Trembles at the Great Alarms: Monsieur, who ne'er durst meet this Prince in Field, Poysons, and Pistols more than's Sword have kill'd; Inglorious Arts! Scorn'd by the Great and Brave, They seek not Man's Destruction, but to Save. In three Months time Monsieur had felt so much The Courage of th' Allies, 'twas time to touch On some Design might spoil the Next Campaine, And lay the dreaded General of Almaine: The Fortune of his Sword he justly Fears, And the Large Reckoning for old Arrears: 'Tis done! The Mighty HERO that had Broke The Insulting Power of the Turkish Yoake, Made the more Barbarous Frenchman Fear his Sword, Which daily Reapt more Lawrels for its Lord. The Empires Hope, the Darling of the League, Is fallen; not by Arms, but by Intrigue! Where were ye all ye Powers that attend On Virtuous Men, and are the HEROs Friend? Could no Kind Genius Rescue from his Fate The mighty Conqueror, and prolong his Date? But as Great Allexander, fell before, Loaden with Triumphs! So, whom We deplore: Whose Fate, not th' Empire, but all Europe Mourn; And shall on France the Treacherous Fact Return. You most Illustrious Hero's which survive The Valiant LORRAINE, keep still alive His Unmatcht Courage, Conduct, Constancy, And bear his Name up to Posterity. May th' August Emperour, a New General find, Matching the Bravery of his Arm, and Mind: And the Leagu'd Princes such success Acquire As bears Proportion with their Just Desire. May You French Lillies with Your Lawrels twine, And Victory with all Your Armies Join, 'Till humbled Lewis find his Treasons Vain; And LORRAINs Fortune to outlive LORRAINE.
