O’er the wide Plains of Leon’s fertile Land;

Whilst all the Gallic Force, the Hostile Foe,

Directed by Gazon, and great King Joe,

Spread o’er the Country round, in varied Route,

Bewilder’d in perplexity, and doubt:

When t’wards the South their eager looks addrest,

The Allied Troops surpriz’d them from the West;

With all their Force array’d on Douro’s Bank,

Our skilful Hero took them on the Flank;

From Salamanca bravely chased them forth,
