: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.
