Now War is with your Fav'rite overthrown)

Who was but temp'rate, when he understood
He might the Empire in your right require;
The scant reward of your exhausted bloud.

That Borgio strove to quench whom Hubert warm'd;
To Bergamo, they cry'd, to Bergamo!
And as they soon were vex'd, as soon are arm'd.

Their very rage them with defence supplies;
As born with it, and must have winged Foes
That stoop from Heav'n to harm them by surprise.

With Ensigns now display'd, there Force they draw
To hastie order, and begin to move;
But are amus'd by something that they saw,
Which look'd like all that ere they heard of Love.

Unusual to their Camp such objects were,
Yet this no ill effect from wonder wrought;
For it appeas'd them by approching near,
And satisfi'd their Eyes in all they sought.
