After the field was won,
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun;
But things like that, you know, must be
After a famous victory
Great praise the Duke of Marlbrough ⟨won,⟩
And our good Prince Eugene!'
'Why, 'twas a very wicked thing!'
Said little Wilhelmine
'Nay—nay—my little girl,' quoth he,
'It was a famous victory.
And our good Prince Eugene!'

Said little Wilhelmine
'Nay—nay—my little girl,' quoth he,
'It was a famous victory.
And every body prais'd the duke,
Who such a fight did win.'
'But what good came of it at last?'
Quoth little Peterkin.
'Why that I cannot tell,' said he,
'But 'twas'a famous victory.'
