A CARROUSE
To The Emperor, 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;
|
Lorrain comes they run they run,
|
Charge with your Horse through the grand Half-moon
|
And give Quarter unto none,
|
since Starenberg is Wounded.
|
Close your Ranks and each brave Soul
|
Fill a lusty flowing Bowl,
|
A grand Carrouse to the Royal Pole,
|
the Emperors brave defender:
|
Let no man leave his Post by stealth,
|
Plunder the Barbarous Visiers Wealth:
|
Wel 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 the[y]ve beat the Turks home,
|
Not a Soul the Field will leave,
|
Till they do again retrieve.
|
What the Moonsier does detrieve,
|
and fix him in his Dukedom.
|
Then will be the Schen of war,
|
When such drinking Crowns prepare,
|
Those that love the Monsieurs fear,
|
their Courage will be shrinking;
|
Loyal hearts inspird with Hock,
|
Who can from a better Rock;
|
The French will never stand the Shock,
|
for all their Claret drinking,
|
Mahomet was a senseless 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 had freely past the Rhine.
|
and conquerd all before them,
|
Coffee Rallies no retreat,
|
Vind can only do the fear,
|
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 Skie,
|
brisk Langoon ner miscarryd.
|
Infidels are now ore-come,
|
The most Christian Turk at home,
|
Watched 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[ance]
|
hes a Whig that will not follow.
