WHat News is this flys up and down, Of M---h, that Warriour of Renown? His glorious Sun's eclips'd at Noon, which lately shin'd most splended: All round Britannia's most spacious Isle, His Foes did dread, and his Friends did smile, French Politicks he oft beguil'd, and chiefly him they dreaded. A valiant Hero in the Field, When he his warlike Sword did wield, He made proud Lewis's Forces yield, as Captives to his Glory; And Conq'rer was where e'er he came; His Conduct, Valour, Might and Fame, Did signalize his awful Name, and eke record his Story. It is a Task would tedious grow, All his heroick Deeds to show, And how he made the French to know, that Mars could ne'r exceed him In great Atchievements there of late, Where Victories did on him wait, And Thousands of them met their Fate, each trembling Soul did dread him. In the famous Hogstet Fight was try'd, His noble Actions too, beside, And Schellemburg could well decide his Valour, which gave Wonder: With great amazement all was fill'd, To see the slaughter'd Foes lye kill'd; At Ramellies French Blood he spill'd, and at Lisle, like dreadful Thunder, His Cannons Balls did fly and roar, So that for Mercy they implor'd, And did surrender all their Store, not able to resist him: In many valourous Fights since then, He did return Victorious, when Fresh Lawrels crown'd him, and each Pen proclaim'd him still the Victor.
A Warriour great all will allow, Yet some Defects appeareth now; But what it is there is but few can very well conjecture: No question but our Senate good, Just Reasons have why they withstood His Motives, and find no Man cou'd be wholly without Blemish. Tho' of late in Triumph here he came, And splendedly was entertain'd, Whilst Fames loud Trumpet did proclaim him Champion of Great Britain: The noble Warriour seems to grieve, That he the Toils of War must leave; Yet 'tis high time the Sword to sheath, since ANNA thinks it fitting. 'Tis certain he's from Favour fell, All worldly Pomp is soon expell'd, 'Tis fit all Subjects Homage yield, and pay all due Submission: But France, it seems, doth boasting say, This is to them a joyful Day; They for his Downfal loud do pray; and breaking his Commission. Lewis le Grand doth rant and roar, For all his Gout, old Agues and Sores, Is Marlbro' out? I wish no more; Begar, now Lads ne'r fear them: My aged Heart is void of Care, I am brisker than I was by far, Now Britain's, now come if you dare; Begar, we'll peace-meal tear them. And thus, it seems, he doth rejoyce, Thinking we have no noble Choice; But Britain yields Heroick Boys, with Eugene great, to maul them: Yet still we hope, and with the best, Our Marborough may be still carest, Whilst bounteous ANNA's Royal Breast, his Faults will pardon all Boys.
