NOW, now Winter is retreating, Hark, hark the Martial Drum is beating; Fate smiles upon the Glorious Year, Predestin'd for Proud France to fear: Flanders shall shake with Marlborough's Thunders, Spain too where Staremberg did Wonders, Spight of some late unlucky blunders; And the taking of Girrone March, March, begin the Seige of Arras, Then, then lead on your way to Paris; Mounsieur you'll confound, And Philip must in course go down. Cease, cease Brittish Men your jangling, Great harms befall us by your wrangling; Rank feuds encourage still the Foe, You else might quickly overthrow: Joyn all, let Royal Anna charm ye, Use means to pay the Fleet and Army; No pow'r of bragging France will harm ye,    Tho' Te Deums never cease; Tho' tho' with Boyish crowds they threaten, All know their Marshalls can be beaten;     Conquests will increase,     And soon we shall command a Peace. Second Movement.
