         A NEW TOAST,

                 To His GRACE

JAMES Duke of ORMOND.

                     I.

WHo durſt have ſaid ſome Time
(agoe,
So brave a Soul as this
Shou'd to the State be term'd
(a Foe,
Or ever thought amiſs ?

                     II.

Brave ORMOND! who his Blood has ſpent,
For's Country, and his QUEEN ?
And for King GEORGE, as Eminent,
Wou'd in the Field be ſeen.

                     III.

Brave as the Heroes were of old,
Renouned Ormond prov'd,
And has, and will live uncontrol'd
And by the Brave beloved

                     IV.

Then how can any be ſo baſe
As to revile his Name,
When all the World muſt own his Grace
Doth merit endleſs Fame ?

                     V.

His Pride is in true Loyalty ;
The Glory of this Iſle,
For which he will reſpected be,
And Fame ſhall on him ſmile.

                     VI.

Ah ! none's ſo ſit as he, we'll prove,
A General to be,
Having an univerſal Love
From all the Soldiery.

                     VII.

Brave Ormond has more Treaſure ſpent,
And for the common Cauſe,
Than any Peer that ever went
Abroad to gain Applauſe.

                     VIII.

And thro' more Dangers he has run
Of Life and Fortune far,
Thao any Purſe-preud Upſtart, whom
Pr ferment got in War.

                     IX.

Flanders and Vigo both proclaim
The Glory of this Peer,
Abroad his moſt renowned Name
Both France and Spain did fear:

                     X.

Honour he M rits as his Due,
And do wha e're they can,
The Paths of Fa me he will purſue,
And prove a Loyal Man.

                     XI.

To Noble Ormond's Health we'll drink,
In ſpite of all his Foes,
From this Propoſal do not ſhrink
Up, up this Claret goes.

                     XII.

Hard at the Bottle let us work,
And he that doth refuſe
This Health, is warſer than a Turk,
Or unbelieving Jews.
