The Battle o' Vitioria.
Si-ng, aii };£ batrfs, witli loud acclaim,
Give glory high to galknt Graham,
Heap laurels on our Marshal’s fame.
Who conquer’d at Vittoria.
Triumphant freedom smi'/dj^Spain,
An’ rais’d her stately form again,
Where the British lion shook PK^^mane
, On the mountains o’ Vittoria.
Let blust’ring Suchet crotisely crack,
Let Joseph rin the coward’s track.
An’ Jourdan wish the baton back,
He left upon Vittoria!
If e’er they iieet their worthy king,
Let them dance roun’ him in a ring;
And some Scotch piper play the spring,
He blew them at Vittoria!
Gae trutl* and honour to the Dane,
Gae German’s monarch heart and brain;
But aye, in sic a cause as Spain,
Gae Brifchs'at Vittoria!
