A SONG on the late Victory over the Turks.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 HArk! the thund'ring Ca╌nons roar, ecchoing from the Ger╌man shoar; and the joy╌ful News comes o're, the Turks are all con╌foun╌ded: Lorrain comes, they run, they run; charge with your Horse through the grand Half-Moon, we'll Quar∣ter give to none, since Sta╌rem╌berg is wounded.

II.
Close your Ranks, and each brave Soul Take a lusty flowing Bowl, A grand Carouse to th' Royal POLE, The Empire's brave Defender: No Man leave his Post by stealth, Plunder the barbarous Vizier's Wealth, But drink a Helmet full, the Health Of the second ALEXANDER.
III.
Mahomet was a sober Dog, A Small-beer, drouzy, senseless Rogue, The juice of the Grape so much in vogue, To forbid to those Adore him; Had he but allow'd the Vine, Given 'em leave to Carouse in Wine, The Turk had safely pass'd the Rhine, And conquer'd all before him.
IV.
Infidels are now o'recome; But the Most Christian Turks at home, Watching the Fate of Christendom, But all his Hopes are shallow: Since the Poles have led the Dance, Let English CAESAR now advance; And if he sends a Fleet to France, He's a Whig that does not follow.
