Is Charleroy's Siege come to? who wou'd 'a thought it?
Then the Rumours was false that Lewis had bought it:

Then charge all your Guns, Boys, as high as they can be,
With the briskest Champagne ramm'd down with Nantz Brandy:

Let Engineer Vauban shoot the Devil and all,
Yet his Marshal shan't Dance at old Maintenon's Ball.
