LET all noble stout Commanders, likewise Souldiers Foot and Horse; Both in England, Holland, Flanders, now lament this heavy Loss Of a right Renowned Leader, who did many Fights maintain; The Duke Schomberg, gentle Reader, he in Ireland was slain.
With a right heroick Spirit, he was evermore endu'd; Fame and Glory did he merit, as his Foes he still subdu'd: Where the Guns did roar like Thun[der,] bloudy Fights he did maintain, Filling all the World with Wonder, but Great Schombergh now is slain[.]
At the Head of warlike Forces, did he place his chief Delight, Taking such effectual Courses, that his Foes he put to flight: While the Warlike Drums did rattle, bloudy Fights he did maintain; Never did he lose a Battel, yet Great Schomberg now is slain. Tho' great Councils did assemble to oppose him in the Field; Yet he made them quake and tremble, and as soon submit and yield. Nay, his very Name they dreaded, causing them to flye amain, Many Armies hath he headed, yet at last he now is slain. Righteous Causes he defended, and would wronged Monarchs right; So that Blessings still attended him in shining Armour bright: By the Sword he purchas'd Glory, which the World can never stain, Tho' he by a Rebel Tory was in a sharp Battel slain. He in warlike flaming Fire, Salamander-like did live; Nothing did he more desire, than a fatal stroke to give
To a rude Rebellious Faction, who in Villanies did Reign; But in the late Irish Action Noble Schomberg he was slain. Pale-fac'd Death has now confin'd him in a narrow silent Tomb; Yet a Name he left behind himer sweeter than a rich Perfumee Let his Actions be recorded in the lasting Rolls of Famo; In another World rewarded, Noble Schomberg who was slain. Tho' his Death may be lamented, France shall have no Cause to boast; Their Designs will be prevented, by our warlike armed Host: Who with Courage will pursue them, Britains freedom to maintain, And has valiant Courage shew'd 'em, tho' Great Schomberg he is slain. Towns and Castles do's surrender to our right Renowned King, The True Christian Faith's Defender, through the Land his Fame do's Ring: Nay, his very Foes adore him, wishing that he long may reign: Boys, he Conquers all before him, tho' Great Schomberg he is slain.
