The Second Game, 1703.
The Second Game Bavaria took their Parts,And the first Deal turn'd up the King of Hearts,
Got the Court Cards and Trumps into his Power,
And put the Slip upon the Emperor.
And well it was for France he serv'd him so,
For Lewis else had quickly been brought low;
Germany fretted thus to see it go.
England still play'd its Part, and won some Tricks,
And fairly brought the Game up Eight, to Six.
But Germany had no good Cards to play,
And by ill Fortune gave the Game away.
Savoy did from France and Spain divide,
And ventur'd all on the contrary Side;
Loses some Stakes, but England lends him more,
And Portugal does for that same declare.
