 Gutavus aw how Fury like they fought,

And better witnes never Soldiers ought;

The mighty Hero mil'd, with Wonder plea'd,

And till they fought the more, the more he prai'd.

They Crown'd his Head with Lawrell's firt, and he

To their jut Valour own'd his Victory.

From whence advancing with a jut Applaue,

The ruin'd Protetants abandon'd Caue;

Religion and the Countrey they retore,

And grateful Germany commemorates the Hour.

In thirty Months continued fierce Campaign,

From Leipick Plains, the Neckar, and the Main,

The Rhine, the Danube, and the Lech they cro't,

No Battle where they fought was ever lot.

Never was uch an Army, uch a Head,

Such Men to follow, uch a King to Lead:
