Austerian Charles inviting,
  To recover Spain;
He performance slighting,
  Forc'd him off again;
Arms we sent and Mony,
  English Boys to Horse,
But the Devil a Penny,
  Did they so disburse:
Whilst in the Hawthorn Tree, &c.

Prussia bravely true is,
  As in Action bold;
But the Godson Lewis,
  Gobbles up French Gold;
One great Marlborough aiding,
  Makes his Glory swell;
T'other Fight evading,
  Stinks on the Mosselle;
Shame pursue the great Ones,
  Who from Honour fall,
Fame renown the Britains
  Bear the brunt of all:
Whilst in the Hawthorn Tree, &c.

Lucky War maintaining,
  Pray observe the rest;
Bleinhim's Battle gaining,
  All the General blest;
Belgian Troops admiring,
  Courted his Command;
Conquest still acquiring,
  Through the German Land;
Hemskirk yet and Shagen,
  Baulk'd him late through fear,
Oh rare Hogan Mogan,
  Who shall lead next Year,
When in the Hawthorn Tree, &c.
