King VVILLIAM'S Courage and Conquest: TOGETHER, VVith the Glorious Success of his Royal Highness the Duke of Savoy; to the Unspeakable Consternation of the French Court and Kingdom.

To an Excellent New Tune.

Licensed according to Order.

HArk! Hark! Hark! how the mad World,

All Sword and with Fire,

Conspire, Conspire;

Their Forces all Gay,

In Battle Array,

To Combat, to Combat with the Emperor of France,

Yes let them Advance, Advance,

Whilst William, Great William shall dash them in sunder.

And Scurge them with Scorpion Rods,

As Jove drove the Gyants down down by his Thunder,

Who Battl'd the Throne of the Gods.

All France, all France is in fear,

Of true Sons of Thunder,

Who under, who under

His Highness's Command,

Has Enter'd their Land;

Defending their Kingdom will prove but in vain,

Fair Dauphin he soon shall gain:

Thus William & Savoy shall dash them in sunder.

And, &c.

Monsieur, Monsieur Catinat,

Being over-power'd,

He scower'd, he scower'd

Before the Savoys,

Stout Conquering Boys,

Which made his whole Army to tremble for fear,

VVhen they with their Duke drew, near;

Thus Savoy great Savoy shall dash 'em in sunder,

And, &c.

Strong Towns, strong Towns they shall yield

To him at discretion,

Oppression, Oppression,

Has caus'd them to groan,

And therefore they own

His coming is purely to keep 'em from thrall.

French Dragoons shall pay for all,

For Savoy, great Savoy shall dash them in sunder.

And, &c.

His Arms, his Arms with success,

Still clears all before him,

Adore him, Adore him,

The Protestants due,

There's none but a Crew,

Of Romans, of Romans that does him oppose,

Who only shall feel his blows,

For Savoy, great Savoy, shall dash 'em in sunder,

And, &c.

To Arms, to Arms crys the French,

For the Enemy's coming,

He's Bombing, he's Bombing,

Our Fortify'd Towns,

And Conquering Crowns,

Now thus in confusion they march to & fro,

Yet all is in vain I know,

For Savoy, great Savoy shall dash 'em in sunder.

And, &c.

Huzza, Huzza they rush on

Like brave Alexanders,

Commanders, Commanders

Still Leading the way,

In Battle Array,

Tantararo, Tantararo the trumpets do sound,

While Cannons shall tear the Ground,

Thus Savoy, great Savoy shall dash 'em in sunder

And, &c.

Now while, now while he runs on,

Our King with Commanders,

In Flanders, in Flanders,

With Battering Balls

Shall beat down the VValls

Of Dunkirk, of Dunkirk; & make 'em to knm

He fears no Insulting Foe;

Thus William and Savoy shall dash 'em in sunder

And Scurge them with Scorpion Rods,

As Jove drove the Gyants down down by his Thunder

And Battl'd the Throne of the Gods.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
