Classic Poem

The town which Louis bought, Nassau reclaims,
And brings instead of bribes avenging flames.
Now, Louis, take thy titles from above,
Boileau shall sing, and we'll believe thee Jove:
Jove gain'd his mistress with alluring gold,
But Jove, like thee, was impotent and old!
Active and young did he like William stand,
He 'ad stunn'd the dame, his thunder in his hand.
