- Down, down with Bacchus,
- down, down with Bacchus:
- from this honor Renounce,
- renounce the grape's tyrannick pow'r;
- Whilst in our large,
- our large confed'rate bowl,
- and mingling vertue, chear the soul.
- Down with the French,
- down with the French,
- march on to Nantz,
- For whose, for whose dear sake wee'l con'quer France;
- And when, when th'inspiring cups swell high,
- their hungry, hungry juice with score, with score defy.
- Rouse, rouse, rouse, rouse royal boyes,
- your forces joyn To rout,
- to rout the Monsieur and his wine;
- Then, then, then,
- then the next year our bowl shall be quaff'd,
- quaff'd under the vines in Burgundy.
