 Such Countreys Traver'd, or uch Battles won,

Such Conquets made, or Conquets made o oon.

Where hall we all their ancient Glories trace?

Let's haten down to Ramellies a pace;

But top at Phillipburg, and ak Turenne,

And read their ancient Trophies on the Rhine,

How they did there the Gallick Name advance,

And by their Blood gave Plumes to growing France

France, that on Foreign Valour raid their Throne,

By other Nations Swords, and not their own,

Strip't of that Help how eaily they fall,

And faint like Jericho without her Wall.

Recall'd from hence they Williams Sword obey,

And beat the French at Mons for want of Pay;
