NO W, now Winter is retreating,
Hark, hark the Martial Drum is beating ;
Fate smiles upon the Glorious Year,
Predestin'd for Proud France to fear :
Flanders shall shake with Marlborough 's Thunders,
Spain too where Staremberg did Wonders,
' Spight of some late unlucky blunders y
And the taking- of Girrone March,
March, begin the Seige of Arras,
Then, then lead on your way to Paris ;
Mounsieur you'll confound,
And Philip must in course go down.
Cease, cease Brittish Men your jangling,
Great harms befall us by your wrangling ;
Rank feuds encourage still the Foe,
You else might quickly overthrow :
Joyn all, let Royal Anna charm ye,
Use means to pay the Fleet and Army ;
No pow'r of bragging France will harm ye,
Tho' Te Deums never cease ;
Tho' tho' with Boyish crowds they threaten,
All know their Marshalls can be beaten ;
Conquests will increase,
And soon we shall command a Peace.
Second Movement.
