An Excellent New Song On the late Victories over the TURKS.

To a very Pleasant New Tune. [...]

HArk! the thundring Canons roar,
ecchoing from the German shore,
And the joyful News comes or'e,
The Turks are all confounded;
Lorrain comes, they run, they run;
Charge your horse through the grand half-moon
We'l quarter give to none,
Since Staremberg is wounded.

Close your Ranks, & each brave Soul
Take a lusty flowng Bowl,
A grand Carouse to th' Royal Pole,
The Empires brave Defender;

Plunder the Grand Visiers Wealth,
But drink a Helmet full to th' Health

The Turk had safely past the Rhine,
And conquer'd all before him.

With often Firing, feels no harm
While the sober sot flies the Alarm,
No Lawrel can be friend him.

Christians thus with Conquests Crown'd
Conquest with the Glass goes round
Weak Coffee can't keep its ground
Against the force of Glaret:
Whilst we give them thus the Foyl,
And the Pagan Troops Recoyl,
The Valiant Poles divide the Spoyl
And in brisk Nectar share it.

And if he sends a Fleet to France,
