Wars > War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714)

             O D E.

ORmond's Glory, Marlbrough's Arms
All the Mouths of Fame employ;
And th' Applauding World around
Echoes back the pleaſing Sound:
Their Courage warms ;
Their Conduct charms :
Yet the univerſal Joy
Feels a ſenſible Alloy!

                     I I.

Mighty George! the Senate's Care :
The People's Love; Great ANNA's Prayer :
While the Stroke of Fate we dread
Impending or Thy Sacred Head,
The Britiſh Youth for Thee ſubmit to fear,
For Her the Dames in cloudy Grief appear!

                     I I I.

Let the Noiſe of War and Joy
Rend again the trembling Sky ;
Great George Revives to calm our Fears
With Proſpect of more Glorious Years :
Deriv'd from ANN's Auſpicious Smiles,
More cheerful Airs refreſh the Britiſh Iſles.

                     I V.

Sound the Trumpet ; Beat the Drum:
Tremble France; We come, We come
A Mighty Force Our Courage warms;
We feel the Full, the powerful Charms
Of Ormond's Glory, and of Marlbrough's Arms!
