A CARROUSE
TO THE
Emperor, the Royal Pole,
And the much-wong'd DUKE of LORRAIN.
To a new Tune, at the PLAY-HOUSE.
|
Hark! I hear the Cannons rore,
|
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 the 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 Empires brave defender;
|
Let no man leave his post by stelth,
|
Plunder the barbarous Visiers wealth,
|
We'l drink a Helmet full, the health
|
of second Alexander.
|
Fill the Helmet once again,
|
To the Emperors happy reign,
|
And the much-wrong'd Duke Lorrain,
|
but when they've beat the Turks home,
|
Not a Soul the field would leave,
|
Till they do again retrieve,
|
What the Monsieur does detrieve;
|
and fix him in his Dukedom,
|
Then will be the Scheme of War,
|
When such drinking Crowns prepare,
|
Those that love the Monsieurs fear,
|
their courage will be shrinking,
|
Loyal hearts inspir'd with hock,
|
Who can form a better Rock,
|
The French will never stand the shock,
|
for all their Clarret drinking.
|
Mahomet was a sencless Dog,
|
A Coffe-drinking drousie rogue,
|
The use of the Grape so much in vogue,
|
to deny to those adore him:
|
Had he allow'd the Fruits of the Vine,
|
And gave them leave to carrouse in Wine
|
They had freely past the Rhine,
|
and conquer'd all before them.
|
Coffee Rallys no retreat,
|
Wine can only do the feat,
|
Had their force been twice as great,
|
A and all of Janazaries;
|
Tho' he drank the Danube dry,
|
And all their profit could supply,
|
By his interest from the Sky,
|
brisk Langoon ne'r miscarry'd.
|
Infidels are now o'recome,
|
The Most Christian Turk at home,
|
Watch'd the fate of Christendom,
|
but all his hopes are hollow,
|
Since the Poles have led the dance,
|
If Englands Monarch will advance,
|
And if he'l send a Fleet to Fra---
|
he's a Whigg that will not follow.
