Is Charleroy's Siege come to? who wou'd 'a thought it? Then the Rumours was false that Lewis had bought it: Then charge all your Guns, Boys, as high as they can be, With the briskest Champagne ramm'd down with Nantz Brandy: Let Engineer Vauban shoot the Devil and all, Yet his Marshal shan't Dance at old Maintenon's Ball.
