On the BATTLE Of OUDENARD.
Pursue, pursue, follow the glorious blow,Leave no remainder of the haughty Foe;
Lewis with Pride, and Wealth, and Pow'r, made great,
Must sully all his Glories by Retreat.
Bacchus with Tygers swift to India rode,
And 'twas pursuit of Conquest made the God:
Thus distant Regions Eccho ANNA's Name,
Convey'd by the Progressive Voice of Fame;
Whilst ANNA's Sword is lodg'd in Malbro's Hand,
'Tis Victory to Obey, and Empire to Command.
See how the scatter'd Troops extend their Flight,
And bless the sable Covert of the Night.
