On the Duke of Marlborough's Victory at Hochstet, in 1704
The conqu'ring Genius of our Isle returns;
Inspir'd by Anne , the Godlike Hero burns;
Retrieves the Fame our ill-led Troops had lost,
And spreads reviving Valour through the Host.
In distant Climes the wond'ring Foe alarms,
And with new Thunder Austria 's Eagle arms.
The Danube 's Banks, forgetting Cæsar 's Name,
Shall echo to the Sound of Marlb'rough 's Fame.
The Shepherds Pipes rejoyce o'er Gailick Blood,
And with eternal Purple stain the Flood.
