FRom Dunkirk one Night, they stole out in a fright, To Insult our Faith's Royal Defender; But some Dæmon in th' dark, made 'em out-run the mark, And so baulk the invading Pretender: Whilst the Mounsieur in heat, sent Express to each State, That in Scotland he straight should be Crown'd; But instead of that Reign, he must take him again, Laugh Jolly bold Britains, laugh, laugh, Laugh at him Europe all round.

Would my Country-men know, how this comes to be so, And how He and his Slaves are so hearty; Be ye Commons or Lords, in a few honest words, 'Tis explain'd they are all of a Party: And tho' poor as Rats, without Coyn or Estates, Only what the most Christian will spare; They Unite against the Foe, ah, let us do but so; Ye Jolly bold Britains then, then, Then let 'em come if they dare.

Long live Gracious Ann, let her flourishing Reign, Give her safety and Glory for ever; Let no more Northern Scribes, sell her Kingdom for bribes, Nor the Brittish to plague it endeavour: Let the Dutch Troops obey, and give Marlborough his way, Let great Hannover mind his Affair; Let brave Prince Eugene, lead his Troops once again, Ye haughty French boasters then, then, Then stand your Ground if you dare.
