A CARROUSE
TO THE
Emperour, the Royal Pole,
And the much-wrongd DUKE of LORRAIN.
To a New Tune at the PLAY-HOUSE
|
HArk! I hear the Cannons Roar,
|
Ecchoing from the German Shore,
|
And the joyful News comes ore,
|
that the Turks are all confounded,
|
Loorane comes, they Run they Run,
|
Charge with your Horse throw the grand half-moon,
|
And give quarter unto none,
|
since Starenberge is wounded.
|
Close your Ranks, and each brave Soul,
|
Fill a lusty Flowing Bowl,
|
A Grand Carrouse to the Royal Pole,
|
the Empires brave Defender:
|
Let no man leave his Post by stealth,
|
Plunder the Barbarous Visieurs wealth,
|
Weel drink a Helmet full, the Health,
|
of Second Alexander.
|
Fill the Helmet once again,
|
To the Emperors happy Reign,
|
And the much wrongd Duke Lorrain,
|
but when theyve beat the Turks home:
|
Not a Soul the Field will leave,
|
Till they do again retrieve,
|
What the Mounsier does deprive,
|
and fix him in his Dukedom.
|
Then will be the Scheme of War,
|
When such drinking Crowns prepare,
|
Those that Love, the Mounsiers fear,
|
their Courage will be shrinking,
|
Loyal Hearts inspird with Hock,
|
Who can form a Better Rock,
|
The French will never stand the Shock,
|
for all their Clarret Drinking.
|
Mahomet was a senceless Dogg,
|
A Coffee-drinking drowsie Rogue,
|
The use of the Grape so much in vogue,
|
to deny to those adore him;
|
Had he allowd the Fruits of the Vine,
|
And gave them leave to Carrouse in Wine,
|
They all had freely past the Rhine,
|
and Conquerd all before them.
|
Coffee Rallys no retreat,
|
Wine can only do the Feat,
|
Had their Force been twice as great,
|
and all of Janazaries,
|
Tho he had drank the Danube dry
|
And all their profit could supply,
|
By his interest from the Skye,
|
brisk Langoon nere miscarryd.
|
Infidels are now ore-come,
|
The most Christian Turk at home,
|
Watchd the Fate of Christendom,
|
but all his hopes are shallow:
|
Since the Poles have led the Dance,
|
If Englands Monarch will advance,
|
And if hel send a Fleet to Fr---,
|
hes a Whigg that will not follow.
